Yes. And I can point you to certain prophecies that clarify that a woman will be the one to change things, just as G-d has ALWAYS used women to bring about the most important events throughout Hebrew history. Sarah was the first, but not the last. Most of these women get short shrift in concordances and latter histories because it has always been sort of a “man’s world.” Truth is, the women, whether Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Bathsheba, Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Yael, Deborah, even Delilah, and on and on, were chosen for their brains and/or beauty, whereas men were chosen for their brawn. Did you know that Moses’s wife saved his very life by circumcizing his firstborn son?
In Abraham’s travels, he lied and was a coward. It was Sarah who G-d protected. That is why Hebrews are matrilineal.
I could write volumes....

You could add Tamar (Gen. 38) and Hannah to the list.

On the other side, Athaliah is not a very good role model (but what do you expect from a daughter of Ahab and Jezebel?).
