      abstract = {Although women constitute half of the Jewish population  and have always played essential roles in ensuring Jewish  continuity and the preservation of Jewish beliefs and  values, only recently have their contributions and  achievements received sustained scholarly attention.  Scholars have begun to investigate Jewish women's domestic,  economic, intellectual, spiritual, and creative roles in  Jewish life from biblical times to the present. Yet little  of this important work has filtered down beyond specialists  in their respective academic fields. Women and Judaism  brings the broad new insights they have uncovered to the  world.Women and Judaism communicates this research to a  wider public of students and educated readers outside of  the academy by presenting accessible and engaging chapters  written by key senior scholars that introduce the reader to  different aspects of women and Judaism. The contributors  discuss feminist approaches to Jewish law and Torah study,  the spirituality of Eastern European Jewish women, Jewish  women in American literature, and many other  issues.Contributors: Nehama Aschkenasy, Judith R.
