Title: Women who would be rabbis
First published: 1998
Description: From Mary M. Cohen, who first published an article on the ordination question in 1889, to Sally Priesand, the first woman rabbi, to the continuing controversy over ordination in Orthodox Judaism, the full story of Jewish women's long struggle to become rabbis has never been told - until now. Pamela S.

Nadell mines a wealth of untapped sources - newspapers, letters, temple records - to create the first in-depth account of the debates surrounding women's battle to prove themselves and their right to become rabbis and religious teachers.
