The Status of Women in Jewish Tradition
Sassoon, Isaac (Brooklyn College, City University of New York)
Biblical and Talmudic Judaism are rooted in the presuppositions and interests of a patriarchal society, but Sassoon identifies views within the Bible and the Talmud that rise above patriarchal self-interest. Particularly compelling is evidence of support for monogamy in ancient Israel, and women's and men's souls being equal in value.
