Yentl's Revenge: The Next Wave of Jewish Feminism

by Danya Ruttenberg

Yentl's Revenge: The Next Wave of Jewish Feminism Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A diverse group of young women--from witches to rabbis--explore the new Judaism. Contributors ponder Jewish transgenderdom, Jewish body image, Jewish punk, the stereotype of the Jewish American Princess, intermarriage, circumcision, faith, and intolerance.

Synopsis:

Thanks in large part to the struggles of their activist foremothers, todays young Jewish women have a dizzying array of spiritual options. Yentls Revenge chronicles a range of experiences lived by an entire generation of women, from Judeo-pagan witches to young Orthodox mothers, from rabbis to sex educators. Contributors ponder Jewish transgenderdom, Jewish body image, Jewish punk, the stereotype of the Jewish American Princess, intermarriage, circumcision, faith, and intolerance. Essays include “Bubbe Got Back: Tales of a Jewish Caboose” by Ophira Edut, and “On Being a Jewish Feminist Valley Girl” by Tobin Belzer.
