No tells us that Vashti saw through the distortions of ancient misogyny. It tells us that she was converted to the truth about herself, which enabled her to act from an empowered place. Queen Vashti understood that she was designed to be autonomous, to have sovereignty over her body. Borrowing the words of David O. McKay, Vashti understood that she “should be queen of her own body.” She could decide what was comfortable, what was safe, what was right, and she could say no when a given circumstance conflicted with those personal standards.Share
