  abstract: This study follows the body of Woman Zion through texts and time as a premiere example of a body's agency, whether that body be literal or literary. It begins in the preexilic years of Isaiah, Micah, Hosea and Jeremiah, descends with Woman Zion to her exilic nadir in Ezekiel and Lamentations, then watches her remarkable rise in Isaiah and the texts of Early Judaism, including 1 Baruch, 4 Ezra, Galatians and Revelation. It builds upon the insight of New Materialism, which defines agency as the ability to intra-act, to act upon and be acted upon by the world around it, an ability possessed by humans and nonhumans alike. Woman Zion is therefore more than the metaphorical space for authors to think and assert their agenda and their agency. Rather, her body is an art object that displays agency of its own. This agency is evident in how her body gets out of hand, outlasts her creators and does things they never intended her to do. Specifically, her body becomes sticky, carrier of a beloved Zion tradition that demands evolution when the impenetrable city was, in fact, penetrated. This study provides a new way to track a tradition without succumbing to the limitations of form criticism and, by definition, its tie to forms that face eventual extinction.
