This book flips this notion on its head. Drawing on six years of fieldwork between New York and Montreal, Jessica Roda examines modern performances on the stage and screen directed by and for ultra-Orthodox women. Their incredibly vibrant Jewish artistic scenes defy stereotypes that paint these women as repressed, reclusive to their shtetl (village), and devoid of creativity and agency.For Women and Girls Only argues that access to technology has completely transformed how ultra-Orthodox women express their way of being religious and that the digital era has enabled them to create an alternative entertainment market outside of the public, male-dominated one. Because expectations surrounding modesty, ultra-Orthodox women do not sing, dance, or act in front of men and the public. Yet, in a revolutionary move, they are creating "women and girls only" spaces onsite and online, putting the onus on men to shield themselves from the content. They develop modest public spaces on the Internet, about which male religious leaders are often unaware. The book also explores the entanglement between these observant female artists and those who left religion and became public performers. The author shows that the arts expressed by all these women offer a means of not only social but also economic empowerment in their respective worlds.For Women and Girls Only is a groundbreaking reversal of mainstream portrayals of ultra-Orthodox religious women, and of those who have left the community yet maintain ties to it. It is the first work to focus on the ultra-Orthodox female art scene in music, film, and dance across North America and on social media. 001492734 650_6 $$aArtistes juives$$zNew York (État)$$y21e siècle. 001492734 650_6 $$aMédias$$xAspect religieux$$xJudaïsme. 001492734 650_6 $$aJudaïsme orthodoxe. 001492734 650_0 $$aJewish women artists$$zCanada$$zMontreal$$y21st century.$$0(DLC)sh 97003796 001492734 650_0 $$aJewish women artists$$zNew York (State)$$y21st century.$$0(DLC)sh 97003796 001492734 650_0 $$aMass media$$xReligious aspects$$xJudaism.$$0(DLC)sh 85002003 001492734 650_0 $$aMedia literacy$$xSocial aspects$$xJudaism.$$0(DLC)sh 96010160 001492734 650_0 $$aOrthodox Judaism. 001492734 650_0 $$aUltra-Orthodox Jewish women$$xIntellectual life. 001492734 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001492734 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRoda, Jessica$$tFor Women and Girls Only$$dNew York : New York University Press,c2024$$z9781479809752 001492734 852__ $$bebk 001492734 85640 $$3De Gruyter Online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9781479809790$$zOnline Access$$91476733.1 001492734 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1492734$$pGLOBAL_SET 001492734 980__ $$aEBOOK 001492734 980__ $$aBIB 001492734 982__ $$aEbook 001492734 983__ $$aOnline 001492734 994__ $$a92$$bISE
