Who is the Samaritan woman in the book, All of the Women of the Bible?

The Samaritan woman is introduced as a young woman who felt some new intuition to go to a well of Jacob to fetch water and to parch her thirst. While she is there she begins to exchange a few words with a stranger. It quickly becomes apparent that they have more to say to one another than merely a few words.

The man asks her to fetch her husband so that she and he can have a long conversation without impropriety. Having her husband present would prevent any misunderstanding about the situation. She admits to having a lover but he is not her husband. Somehow this leads to her repenting with respect to her sexual behavior.
