Title: Mine and yours are hers
First published: 1997
Description: This book discusses the interaction between history, rabbinic literature and feminist studies.

But mainly this is a book about women's history, adopting many assumptions of feminist criticism about the androcentric nature of all ancient texts, and approaches them with due suspicion. The Rabbis treated women differently from the way they treated men. This resulted in the former's marginalization and manipulation by the texts. On the other hand, however, it created an ironic situation whereby principles useful for the recovery of historical information on women, are useless when applied to men.

This study describes such principles and demonstrates them with the help of many examples.
