you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

Not enough calves, the girl thought; not enough lambs. Not enough pregnant cows and ewes. Her family would have to eat less meat this year, or else have smaller herds—something her father Abraham would never stand for, unless the reduction were a burnt offering to the Lord, who had brought him into Canaan.

Her father would hardly be pleased by having to eat as though he were not a wealthy man, either...

Was it the Lady's voice? Something told the girl to look up, to listen, to take up her bow and follow her father and her brother Isaac.

This post is so I can keep talking about my plans for the trilogy The Shining Ones—books tentatively entitled Abraham's Daughter, Mary Mary, and Fatimah the Blessed—without distracting from the conversation in the locked community post where the subject came up. Also so anybody who thinks I'm fucking up with my plans can tell me, so I can change my plans.

So. Arcade Fire's "Abraham's Daughter". How would that prominent female character changing the Akedah affect the history of Judaism? SJ Tucker's "Mary Mary". How would additional prominence to Mary of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala, subsequent to the changes in Judaism of that era, affect the history of Christianity? And I can't not do Islam, that wouldn't be fair, so how would additional prominence to Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and his wives Khadijah and Aisha, subsequent to the changes in Judaism and Christianity of that era, affect the history of Islam? Then, how would the changes in all three religions affect the world of today?
