An Important Contribution to Feminist Scholarship and Jewish Studies,
By
This review is from: Voices of the Matriarchs: Listening to the Prayers of Early Modern Jewish Women (Paperback)
Chava Weissler's Voices of the Matriarchs is a valuable contribution to Jewish Women's Studies. Jewish women's historical existance is in the process of being discovered and reclaimed, and this book demonstrates the complexities and rewards for pursing such an endeavor. The study of the tkhines provides us with valuable insight to Ashkenazi Jewish women. Weissler writes with precision and explicates issues such as gender and feminism. My only complaint is that Weissler's narrative is a bit dry. But what do you expect? It is a historical book. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to students, scholars, women, or anyone interested in history.
