I loved reading your article about Judith. Your 2013 article was just published (2019) in my local Jewish Community magazine. I was not aware of the story of Judith at all. With a little Google research, I was surprised to find that Gentileshi, the painter of the painting included with your article, "Judith Beheading Holofernes" was also a woman.
