This is the Spanish-language edition of John MacArthur's Twelve Extraordinary Women. The book treats women through whom God worked in Scripture, among them Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, Hannah, Mary the mother of Jesus, Anna, the Samaritan woman, Martha and Mary, and Mary Magdalene, giving each her historical setting and drawing out what her account reveals about God's dealings rather than presenting her as a model of achievement.

MacArthur's concern throughout is grace rather than exemplary virtue, which keeps the treatment from becoming a set of lessons in self-improvement. This edition serves Spanish-speaking readers, women's Bible studies in Spanish, and bilingual congregations. The entire text is in Spanish.
