Leviticus 15
Not sure if I would have rather the skin disease chapter that Kelly blogged on or this one. Again, the Israelites are given a set of rules that likely promote proper hygiene mixed with some odd views on bodily functions. Women get the worst of it here. Once a month they are "unclean" for 7 days and are essentially cut off from society!

I highly recommend "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant. A fiction book based on the community that women develop because they are secluded together in the red tent. Also tells some major Bible stories (fictionally through the eyes of the women.
