Biblical and Talmudic Judaism are rooted in the presuppositions and interests of a patriarchal society, but Sassoon identifies views within the Bible and the Talmud that rise above patriarchal self-interest. Particularly compelling is evidence of support for monogamy in ancient Israel, and women's and men's souls being equal in value.

Gen. 1:27-29 revisited; Part II. Commandments (Misvot): 8. Zeman gerama; 9. Derekh; 10. The scriptural evidence; 11. Deuteronomy: a pattern; 12. The priestly Torah; 13. Two writers on purity law; 14. Torah study; Part III. Intrinsic Equality: 15. The Qatlanit law; 16. 'Rankings' of Horayot 3:7; 17. Venus and Mars; 18. Covenant; 19. Gauging purity's weight in p; 20. Body and soul; Conclusion.
