Very little is said in the Bible about Dinah, daughter of Jacob, sister of Joseph and his brothers. This is her story. Although it is too long - at times it reminded me of the "begats" of the Bible - it gives a fascinating picture of the societies of the Canaanites and of the Egyptians, with whom Dinah eventually settles, especially of the lives of women, compared with those of men.
