Rainha Vashti

The story of Queen Esther, told in the text Book of Esther, managed to be queen after Queen Vashti, until then the wife of King Ahasuerus, refused to dance and expose herself to all men in all cities of the Persian empire, facing the status quo masculine and sexist in relation to the woman's body as an object of exposure and exhibition. The methodology used is a review of literature and Jewish websites on the theme of queens Vashi and Esther. It deals with a narrative of a Jewish woman exiled in Persia and who lived during the period of reign of Ahasuerus, also known as Ahasuero (Xerxes) between 486 and 465 BC (beforethe common era), and it is understood that the Jewish Esther added habits not Jews in all aspects of her Jewish life as a queen married to a non-Jewish king of the Persian Empire.
