Egyptian servant of Sarah, given to Abraham as a secondary wife. She bore Ishmael, Abraham's firstborn. She was expelled twice into the wilderness — once while pregnant, once with her son — and both times an angel found her at a well. She is the only person in the Hebrew Bible to give God a name: El Roi, "the God who sees."

~2000 BCE. Egyptian woman in a Semitic household, owned and vulnerable. She knows what it is to be used and then discarded. She also knows that God saw her when no one else did — that is the center of her.
