It does so by asking: How do...
This is a pioneering work on what it means to "engender" Jewish tradition-how women's full inclusion can and must transform our understanding and practice of Jewish law, prayer, and marriage. Adler's writing is passionate, sharply intelligent and offers a serious study of traditional biblical and rabbinic texts. Engendering Judaism challenges both mainstream Judaism and feminist dogma and speaks across the movements as well as to Christian theologians and feminists.
Feminist struggles have targeted corporate capital, male-dominated social structures, and patriarchal ideas and culture. The contest with the state, however, has provided the most substantial focus.

Or has it? This collection l...

I Remember Death by Its Proximity to What I Love
by Mahogany L. Browne
In A New Type of Womanhood, Natasha Kirsten Kraus retells the history of the 1850s woman's rights movement.
