Description:

Uses some of the tools of contemporary feminist theory and methodology to focus on questions about the resurgence of ethnic/religious identities in the United States and the meaning of this for contemporary Jewish women.

Accomplishes this by looking at some key institutions-work, family, religion, the feminist movement, the media, literature, and film.
