Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: This term paper discusses the representation of Jewish ideals in the book "Unorthodox" that was written by Deborah Feldman and published in 2012. The novel describes her experiences that range from her childhood to the beginning of her adult life that she spent in a deeply religious Jewish community in Williamsburg in New York City. A crucial aspect that rules her daily life in the Hasidic community are the strict gender-based laws that separate male and female members into two groups with different tasks, rules and social responsibilities. Deborah feels limited and imprisoned by the rules she has to follow as a woman in her community. That is why her story can be viewed as one of finding freedom and independence in an environment that discourages women to make up their own mind.

Paula Hyman broadens and revises earlier analyses of Jewish assimilation, which depicted “the Jews” as though they were all men, by focusing on women and the domestic as well as the public realms. Surveying Jewish accommodations to new conditions in Europe and the United States in the years between 1850 and 1950, she retrieves the experience of women as reflected in their writings--memoirs, newspaper and journal articles, and texts of speeches--and finds that Jewish women’s patterns of assimilation differed from men’s and that an examination of those differences exposes the tensions inherent in the project of Jewish assimilation. Patterns of assimilation varied not only between men and women but also according to geographical locale and social class. Germany, France, England, and the United States offered some degree of civic equality to their Jewish populations, and by the last third of the nineteenth century, their relatively small Jewish communities were generally defined by their middle-class characteristics. In contrast, the eastern European nations contained relatively large and overwhelmingly non-middle-class Jewish population. Hyman considers how these differences between East and West influenced gender norms, which in turn shaped Jewish women’s responses to the changing conditions of the modern world, and how they merged in the large communities of eastern European Jewish immigrants in the United States. The book concludes with an exploration of the sexual politics of Jewish identity. Hyman argues that the frustration of Jewish men at their “feminization” in societies in which they had achieved political equality and economic success was manifested in their criticism of, and distancing from, Jewish women. The book integrates a wide range of primary and secondary sources to incorporate Jewish women’s history into one of the salient themes in modern Jewish history, that of assimilation. The book is addressed to a wide audience: those with an interest in modern Jewish history, in women’s history, and in ethnic studies and all who are concerned with the experience and identity of Jews in the modern world.

Why, in the late nineteenth century, did Jewish women suddenly march en masse into the pages of radical history? A Price Below Rubies explores this question and introduces us to these women--particularly, Anna Kuliscioff, Rosa Luxemburg, Esther Frumkin, Manya Shochat, Bertha Pappenheim, Rose Pesotta, and Emma Goldman. Naomi Shepherd's collective biography of these seven women and others tells the story of a revolution that began at home, in communities whose limits stirred women to rebel.

Tal Ilan explores the real, as against the ideal social, political and religious status of women in Palestinian Judaism of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The main conclusions of this investigations are that extreme religious groups in Judaism of the period influenced other groups, classes and factions to tighten their control of women and represent the ideal relationships beween men and women as requiring greater chastity, in order to prove their piety. However, the lives of real women, over and against their representation in the literature of the time, and their relationships to men as opposed to the ideals represented by legal codes, were much more varied and nuanced. This book integrates both Jewish and Early Christian sources together with a feminist critique.»This book is a tour de force - a major piece of research and a 'must read' for all concerned with the recovery of women's history.«Judith Romney Wegner in Journal of Biblical Literature 2 (1997), pp. 354»This fine collection of carefully analysed data will have lasting value...«Martin Goodman in Journal of Roman Studies vol. 88 (1998), p. 189»The scope of the work is impressive.«Joshua Schwartz in Journal of Jewish Studies 1 (1997), pp. 156.
