hm. I have to say that "girl power" was not the first thing I thought of. "good woman" brings up too many images of housewife and more children than a rational person can handle.
and then I think, maybe I should be reading different things online.
The great thing about Kabbalah and other mystical texts is that there's not a lot of authoritative teachings on how to interpret these things--because they themselves are largely outside of the mainstream of the tradition. So, Babylonian dude might have meant "cooking, cleaning, raising babies, etc," but that doesn't mean I have to mean it that way!
