This study seeks the applicable value for contemporary multiculturalism based on the women (Hagar,
Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, A great woman who lives in Shunem, A nameless servant girl) of the Old Testament
who experienced migration. The article critiques uses of scripture that emphasize the roles of the women in
the household. It provides a new interpretation through the perspective of feminist criticism, narrative
criticism, and reader-response criticism. The article introduces the examples of six migrant women who
created peace with people around them through their positive roles despite the fact that women had limited
function under patriarchal society at that time. It suggests, while recognizing the difference regarding race,
gender, and class between migrants and non-migrants, women and men, that they should not be used as the
tools of discrimination. Furthermore, through these women from the Bible, the reader may find role models
of independent women who are working for peace and social justice.
