Ruth 1-4 Sisters are doing it for themselves

Ruth 1-4

The entire Book of Ruth in one sitting!

When life gives you lemons, thresh some barley for Boaz, the land owner.
I read this very short book wondering why is was included in the OT.  It didn't really make sense until the last verse.
The linage of David.  Nuff said.

I did like getting an extremely rare (perhaps only?) look at the plight of women in these days.  Their options must have been very limited.

My question is: Is the focus of this story about the women trying to get by or about the generosity of the male, Boaz?
