Seeing Women's Issues from all sides,

This review is from: Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today (Paperback)
Ms. Biale's book, not only explains relevent laws and how they effect Jewish women (marriage, divorce, abortion, niddah)... she also takes the time to cite the teachings of the great Rabbis, allowing all sides- from right to middle to left- to be heard. This presentation is a fascinating read and allows you to consider all of the evidence and create your own, informed opinions.

This review is from: Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today (Paperback)
I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to be reconsidered in light of the "fact" that women no longer need or want to be protected.
