Gila Fine is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the way she told these stories.
My biggest frustration, I suppose, is that I was not entirely sold on the stereotypes at the beginning. It occasionally felt like Fine had the conceit of the stereotypes and needed to present the stories as ever so slightly more one dimensional than they are.
The richness of the story and her use of literary techniques to think about the stories as capable of making meaning was absolutely wonderfully done. She also makes much of this conversation extremely accessible by bringing some of the more obscure scholarship into a book that is written to be more narratively engaging.

I also find her tendency/willingness to take the works of Boyarin in particular, but others as well, and accept their analysis while still rejecting the direction such work goes. Fine often reads spaces for women into places that academics are more likely to read rabbinic situation of themselves as both self and other in a way that leaves no room for actual women. It's not an argument that lends itself to truth claims, though it does fascinate me how the Torah continues to make itself into what we need it to be.
