Dear Liz,
             If you read 2nd Kings, you will see that a female prophet was consulted. I would not rule out a female contributor to the Pentateuch.

Freedman makes a case in his Who Wrote the Torah (a case
adopted without attribution by Bloom) for the J writer to be female.
My question is how literate were women? How likely is it for there
to have been women writers? It seems very unlikely to me.
