On account of that correlation, identity has become one of the crucial problems in the history of the Italian Jewish community. This volume aims to discuss the setting of construction and formation--the family-- and focuses on women's experiences, specifically. Indeed, women were called through emancipation to ensure the continuity of Jewish religious and cultural heritage. It speaks to the growing interest for Women's and Gender Studies in Italy, and for the research on women's organizations which testify to the strong presence of Jewish women in the emancipation movement. These women formed a sisterhood that fought to obtain rights that were until then only accorded to men, and they were deeply socially engaged in such a way that was crucial to the overall process of the integration of Jews into Italian society. Monica Miniati is an Independent Scholar in Florence, Italy. 410 0$aItalian and Italian American Studies,$x2635-294X 606 $aItaly$xHistory 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aSex 606 $aHistory of Italy 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies 606 $aCultural History 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aItaly$xHistory. 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a305.8924045 676 $a305.8924045 700 $aMiniati$b Monica$0472088 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910523005003321 996 $aItalian Jewish Women in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries$92590838 997 $aUNINA
