The Jewish Woman in Contemporary Society : Transitions and Traditions PDF
by A. Baker
Description
Across the religious/non-religious spectrum, Jewish women have been affected by the women's movement, the impact on some leading to a reassessment of the woman's role in Judaism, with its emphasis on family and home.
Conversely, a small but significant minority have withdrawn into the safety of extreme Orthodoxy.
In the centre, the majority are seeking a balance between the powerful internalized message of Judaism, extolling marriage and motherhood as woman's primary concern, and a changing perception of themselves.
