| Summary: | In the 1990s, Orthodox Jewish women, traditionally peripheral to the business of Jewish learning, worship, and leadership, began to demand access to Jewish learning and enhanced roles in worship. Tamar El-Or, an Israeli anthropologist who first documented this phenomenon, predicted that such challenges will alter Orthodox gender identities and relations, and subsequent studies captured various dimensions of women's empowerment. Yet, gender revolutions are not won and fought by women alone. A successful gender revolution must rewrite cultural scripts, power relationships, and social institutions. These are the questions Sztokman considers in The Men's Section: Orthodox Jewish Men in an Egalitarian World. |
