| Summary: | Over the past decade, the Jewish woman's movement has wrought significant changes in Jewish life. Yet despite piecemeal concessions, Judaism remains a tradition in which the experience of males is the norm and women are seen as "outside and other." Is it possible to be a Jew and a feminist?

The essays in this collection demonstrate how feminist contributions to ritual, liturgy, and theology can revitalize Jewish life for all its adherents. -- From publisher's description. |
