5.0 out of 5 stars Identifying the Challenges, providing with Answers., December 10, 2000

By	Belen F. Crespo (Aranjuez, Madrid Spain) - See all my reviews

On Being a Jewish Feminist is an essential work for those readers in demand of an overall view of the challenges encountered by Jewish Feminism and the answers provided to those by it.

In an understandable way for those who are non-Jewish, the reader is supplied with the targets of Jewish Feminism: the roles, images,assumptions to be questioned or re-created;the forgotten aspects of Jewish women's history to be remembered and studied; the myths to be redefined. What is more, On Being a Jewish Feminist is not only a mere statement of objectives or a dispute of presupositions: suggestions for change are furnished. At the same time, the dilemma of being Jewish and a Feminist, of heretically developing an identity, is expounded and explored.

An imperative work for inquiring minds who long for answers.
