The oral history of the Exodus as narrated through women’s own autobiographies, reveal another view of the wolrd, a different picture of the power deconcentrated or decentralised by the mother figure, power that acts on itselfs, subjectivity and as suchs resist the ordeals of the Exodus. It seems that despite their historical invisibility, in time of crisis, particulary in time of war, women carry the burden of truth, the truth that neither the victors mor the defeated write, the truth written by these who are responsible for the continuitation and the salvation of progeny, culture and future: women. 

However, can oral history truly correspond to the official version? Are oral documents as valid as written documents are, having in mind that they are narrated in a typically female manner in a typically male society? Can gender aspect of the Exodus actually represent a separate episteme?
Thus, this presentation reveal another version of the official historical sources.
