Although women constitute half of the Jewish population and have always played essential roles in ensuring Jewish continuity and the preservation of Jewish beliefs and values, only recently have their contributions and achievements received sustained scholarly attention. Scholars have begun to investigate Jewish women’s domestic, economic, intellectual, spiritual, and creative roles in Jewish life from biblical times to the present. Yet little of this important work has filtered down beyond specialists in their respective academic fields. Women and Judaism brings the broad new insights they have uncovered to the world. Women and Judaism communicates this research to a wider public of students and educated readers outside of the academy by presenting accessible and engaging chapters written by key senior scholars that introduce the reader to different aspects of women and Judaism. The contributors discuss feminist approaches to Jewish law and Torah study, the spirituality of Eastern European Jewish women, Jewish women in American literature, and many other issues. Contributors: Nehama Aschkenasy, Judith R. Baskin, Sylvia Barack Fishman, Harriet Pass Freidenreich, Esther Fuchs, Judith Hauptman, Sara R. Horowitz, Renée Levine, Pamela S. Nadell, and Dvora Weisberg.

How has a legal tradition determined by men affected the lives of women? What are the traditional Jewish views of marriage, divorce, sexuality, contraception, abortion? Women and Jewish Law gives contemporary readers access to the central texts of the Jewish religious tradition on issues of special concern to women. Combining a historical overview with a thoughtful feminist critique, this pathbreaking study points the way for “informed change” in the status of women in Jewish life.

Lacks analyzes the historical, cultural, and mythological sources for women's status in Judaism and Western society. Moving from the earliest pre-biblical civilizations to the present, she explores the evolution of the roles of Jewish women and what they mean today. Tracing the transformation of woman's image through time, Lacks examines the shift from polytheism to patriarchal culture in the ancient Near East and shows how early Jewish views of women derived from older mythologies. She reassesses the leading female figures of the Bible in light of this influence, emphasizing the complex and often misunderstood dimensions of these key archetypes. Most important, Lacks argues that the most confining and unrealistic strictures on the role of women in Judaism arose from the subtle and selective misreading of canonical texts throughout the later history of Jewish scholarship. Lacks also reviews the great protagonists in the struggle for female equality in Judaism-from the learned Talmudic scholar Beruriah to the heroic women of the present century who have fought for and in some cases won the official right to serve as rabbis in Jewish congregations all over the world. --From publisher description.
