description:
Journey back in time to the Holy Land under the Ottoman Empire with Talia Carner’s novel Jerusalem Maiden, which depicts a woman’s struggle for freedom against her community’s religious dictates.
Then fast-forward to today as Dr. Phyllis Chesler explores how, since Israel became a state, learning among Jewish women the world over has been nothing short of revolutionary. Nevertheless, like the Jerusalem Maiden’s struggles, new inner and external battles are being fought by Jewish women against an increasing fundamentalism both in Israel and in the surrounding countries.
