These scholars have brought new perspectives from studies of women, gender, and sexuality. Yet they have also faced institutional and individual obstacles. In this book, Susannah Heschel and Sarah Imhoff examine the place of women and nonbinary people in Jewish studies, arguing that, for both intellectual and ethical reasons, the culture of the field must change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHeschel and Imhoff explore quantitative data regarding women as editors of and contributors to academic journals and anthologies, examine data regarding citations of women's scholarship, and scrutinize women's presence on panels at academic conferences. They analyze the wider context of the contemporary academy, discussing what is distinctive about Jewish studies. They trace the history of the field, its connections to traditional religious studies, and its growth in US institutions, interspersing this with stories of scholars in the field who have experienced harassment and gender discrimination. Finally, they offer suggestions for a reparative path forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susannah Heschel, Sarah Imhoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691215448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691215440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Susannah Heschel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46293107966207,"sku":"9780691215440","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_952cfcec-4f24-48a0-84a0-5d4b8a1688a5.jpg?v=1730212148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-woman-question-in-jewish-susannah-heschel-9780691215440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
