Overview

Women in Jewish Culture: 'A significant contribution...What unifies it is the concern it shows for the Jewish woman's place in the social hierarchy, the official terms of her social roles and statuses, and her negotiation of them. There is really good reading here, ranging from riveting to fascinating to solid and interesting.' - Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, YIVO Institute for Jewish Studies
