Gender and Israeli Society: Women's Time: New Studies from Israel

The title alludes to the amount of time authors choose to spend on a particular person, event, or group: in this case Jewish and Israeli historians and women. Seven essays by scholars of literature and history look at examples in the legend of Sarah, Israeli military memorials, a West Bank settlement, the writing of orthodox women in Israel, and other sites. One of them reviews Iris Parush's Reading Women. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
