It's Sunday. Therefore, of course, it's Biblical heroine picture book time. Esther gets her glad-rags on (everyone loves an ugly duckling transformation) and uses her womanly wiles to save her people. She's like Wonder-Woman, but without the cape.
I was browsing the web, trying to find some inspiration and put off my stand-bys until needed, or a good story for them transpired, and first, I found a site of biblical art, which then led me to Yoram Raanan. His picture of Esther (or inspired by- it's anyone's guess) got me thinking, especially about a blog post by Shannon Hale on why there aren't more books and films about Wonder Woman. Hence, Esther. Queen, and ass-kicker.
