Searching for answers, Tova Hartman Halbertal interviewed mothers of teenage daughters in religious communities: Catholics in the United States, Orthodox Jews in Israel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSounding surprisingly alike, both groups described conscious struggles between their loyalties and talked about their attempts to make sense of and pass on their multiple commitments. They described accommodations and rationalizations and efforts to make small changes where they felt that their faith unjustly subordinated women. But often they did not feel they could tell their daughters how troubled they were. To keep their daughters safe within the protective culture of their ancestors, the mothers had to hide much of themselves in the hope that their daughters would know them more completely in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoving and unique, this book illuminates one of the moral questions of our time--how best to protect children and preserve community, without being imprisoned by tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tova Hartman Halbertal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674008863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674008861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 5.94w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/23\/2002 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2003 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2003","brand":"Tova Hartman Halbertal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425045233919,"sku":"9780674008861","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_408f8745-4b4e-4885-8528-4f73a46679c5.jpg?v=1761536628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appropriately-subversive-tova-hartman-halbertal-9780674008861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
