• W2002162755 abstract "Reviewed by: Women and American Judaism: Historical Perspectives, and: American Jewish Women's History: A Reader Gerald Sorin Pamela S. Nadell and Jonathan D. Sarna , eds. Women and American Judaism: Historical Perspectives. Hanover N.H.: University Press of New England, 2001. Pp. xv + 322. Pamela S. Nadell , ed. American Jewish Women's History: A Reader. New York: New York University Press, 2003. Pp. ix + 326. In the 1970s, as the second wave of the American feminist movement matured, the field of women's history expanded and deepened dramatically. Gender roles and female participation in the professions and the work force were examined and analyzed by historians, as were educational opportunities for women. Scholars raised a host of questions about the political struggles over suffrage, social reform, and equal rights for both sexes, and they studied changing configurations of domesticity.1 At almost the same time, the field of American Jewish women's history emerged, marked by the appearance in 1976 of Charlotte Baum, Paula Hyman, and Sonya Michel's The Jewish Woman in America, and five years later by a special issue of American Jewish History entirely dedicated to women.2 Since that time there has been a flood of papers, articles, anthologies, and books dealing with Jewish women's religious lives, their early feminism, their consumer activism and voluntarism, and their special experience as immigrants.3 Moreover, most serious scholars in American Jewish history now include thoughtful, substantive considerations of [End Page 413] gender, whatever the focus and thrust of their respective studies. Indeed, gender, as Paula Hyman said in 1991, has taken its place, alongside class and ethnicity, as an essential category of historical analysis.4 By 1995, American Jewish History published yet another issue exclusively devoted to women's studies. The essays therein not only helped gauge and illuminate the state of American Jewish women's history and its full and nearly seamless integration into the larger field of American Jewish studies, but most of the writers also considered their subjects in the even larger context of general American history.5 The guest editor for that issue was Pamela Nadell, who now gives us two new and most valuable anthologies. Women and American Judaism (co-edited with Jonathan D. Sarna) includes an insightful introductory essay and a dozen pieces dealing with the religious values, behaviors, and identities of American Jewish women from the colonial period to the present. Though the essays in this volume do not fully agree with or support Ann Braude's contention that women's history is religious history, they do demonstrate, as the editors argue, that the importance of women in the history of American Judaism is far greater than most students of the subject have recognized.6 From the beginning in British North America, Jewish women as mothers, daughters, and female individuals were active as shaping agents in Jewish communal life. And in many cases, more so than men. They also visited the synagogue with greater frequency than their European sisters. As Holly Snyder in Queens of the Household: Jewish Women of British America, 1700-1800 shows, American Jewish women faced a shift in the practices of Judaism which forced them to relocate the central focus of their religious lives from the home to the synagogue and gave them the impetus to take a more active role in synagogue affairs (p. 19). And in time, at least within the Reform movement, American Jewish women, like their Christian counterparts, became the overwhelming majority of those attending religious services. This unprecedented development, as Karla Goldman calls it here in The Public [End Page 414] Religious Lives of Cincinnati's Jewish Women (p. 107), helped reconfigure the American synagogue and ultimately redefined the roles of women within it. Other essays in this anthology also contribute to our understanding that in the synagogue, the home, the Jewish community, and even in the larger American context, Jewish women—as supporters and activists as well as dissenters—extended, deepened, and helped reconstruct Judaism and Jewishness as well as their own Jewish identities. There is little room here to do each of these excellent pieces complete justice. A listing of their titles, however, will indicate the richness of the..." @default.
