We all can learn from Biblical example, Some well known and some obscure. The example of the Samaritan woman is a powerful example even though somewhat obscure. By looking at the background and example we can learn valuable lessons. Jesus used this woman to open the door for these people to repent and look forward to salvation. Even though we don't know her mane, we can still learn a lot from her and see that her influence was large. May we look at her example as encouragement and in anticipation of a better future world.
