   In this section, you'll find a wide variety of material, from the
   strongly feminist perspectives of Reform Judaism to the more
   traditional perspectives of Orthodoxy, with a few more general books
   relating to feminism and women-and-religion in general. Use caution
   when selecting, and I always welcome annotations to further help the
   readers. Many of these suggestions come from a reading list developed
   by Rabbi Shira Stern, originally published in v4n60 of the [6]Liberal
   Judaism Mailing List.

          Westview Press, 1998, 1999. Paperback. ISBN 0-813334-06-3.
          [Acknowledging that Judaism, as described in both the Bible and
          the Talmud, was patriarchal, Hauptman demonstrates that the
          rabbis of the Talmud made significant changes in key areas of
          Jewish law in order to benefit women. Reading the texts with
          feminist sensibilities, the author shows that although the
          rabbis whose rulings are recorded in the Talmud did not achieve
          full equality for women they should be credited with giving
          women higher status and more rights. Rather than plucking
          passages from a variety of different rabbinical works and
          sewing them together to produce an artificial, unified point of
          view, Hauptman reads sources in their own literary and legal
          context and then considers them in relationship to a rich array
          of associated materials.]
