Meroz in Modern Hebrew Literature
From Haim Nachman Bialik's poem Birkat 'am (People's blessing, Adar II 5654/March 1894):
וְלָמָּה, הַמְפַגְּרִים, פַּעֲמֵיכֶם כֹּה בוֹשְׁשׁוּ? הַעֶבֶד יִשְׂרָאֵל, הַאִם בְּנֵי מֵרוֹז?
Why did your steps hesitate so much, you stragglers? Are Jews slaves, are they Meroz' sons?

his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
