Joyce Antler

Jewish Radical Feminism

 

   "Joyce Antler offers us a new understanding of the struggles, themes, accomplishments, and failures of my generation. It's a remarkable synthesis of landmark moments in late-20th Century Jewish feminism and an important contribution to the history of women."

 

 —Letty Cottin Pogrebin, author and co-founder of Ms. Magazine

​

 

 "This is the book we've been waiting for.  Based on exhaustive historical scholarship and written with elegance and grace, Joyce Antler has given us the gift of knowledge, ending the silence about Jewish feminists and feminist Jews."

 

 —Ruth Rosen, author of The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America

​

 

"The role of Jewish women in the feminist struggle was never fully explained. Jewish Radical Feminism fills this gap both in the history of modern Judaism and feminism. This valuable study is a tribute to the struggle of these pioneer Jewish feminists."
