Editorial Reviews

Review

"A significant contribution to the understanding of Jewish social hierarchy and women's place in it -- whether she be a religious leader, a teller of tales, a singer, a Chasidic high school student, or the modern Jewish woman struggling for religious status in a postmodern Jewish world... Packed with revelations. The reading is stimulating, sometimes startling -- always interesting." -- Jewish Star
