This is an indispensable resource about the role of Jewish women from post-biblical times to the twentieth century. Unique in its approach, it is structured so that each chapter, which is divided into three parts, covers a specific period and geographical area. The first section of the book contains an overview, explaining how historical events affected Jews in general and Jewish women in particular. This is followed by a section of biographical entries of women of the period whose lives are set in their economic, familial, and cultural backgrounds. The third and last part of each chapter, "The World of Jewish Women," is organized by topic and covers women's activities and interests and how Jewish laws concerning women developed and changed. This comprehensive work is an easy-to-use sourcebook, synopsizing rich and diverse resources. By examining history and analyzing the dynamics of Jewish law and custom, it illuminates the circumstances of Jewish women's lives and traces the changes that have occurred throughout the centuries. It casts a new and clear light on Jewish women as individuals and sets women firmly within the context of their own cultural and historical periods. The book contains illustrations, boxed text, extensive endnotes, and indices that list each woman by name. It is ideal for women's groups and study groups as well as students and scholars. 517 3 $aJewish Publication Society guide to Jewish women 606 $aJewish women$vBiography 606 $aWomen in Judaism$vBiography 606 $aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJewish women 615 0$aWomen in Judaism 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 676 $a305.48/8924 700 $aTaitz$b Emily$0649409 701 $aHenry$b Sondra$0649408 701 $aTallan$b Cheryl$01867386 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958962603321 996 $aThe JPS guide to Jewish women$94474926 997 $aUNINA
