Jewish Woman in Jewish Law

Jewish Woman in Jewish Law by Meiselman, M.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780870683299.

The role of women in traditional Judaism has been grossly misrepresented and misunderstood. The position of women is not nearly as lowly as many modern people think; in fact, the position of women in halakhah (Jewish Law) that dates back to the biblical period is in many ways better than the position of women under American civil law as recently as a century agoIn traditional Judaism, women are for the most part seen as separate but equal. Womens obligations and responsibilities are different from mens, but no less important (in fact, in some ways, womens responsibilities are considered more important, as we shall see).
