Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-16 00:00:00 Alejandro V�zquez This book may not be for all because it doesn't tout the more modern view of feminism, and the wording was a bit course and dry. However it is a good book for finding the sources that helped shape Orthodox women's lives

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-29 00:00:00 Chris Heid An apologetic work that presents Orthodox Judaism's stand on women at its worst. The "proof text" from Psalms, "The entire glory of the daughter of the king lies on the inside," is repeated with depressing regularity to justify keeping the status quo re women in Judaism. In the chapter about women not being permitted to be witnesses, he states that this is due to a "technicality." A read through the chapter seemed to indicate that being a woman is the technicality. In another chapter he whitewashes the issue of "community honor" denying women the right to read from the Torah. He also is happy with the ruling that women may not dance with the Torah on Simchat Torah because that's the way it's always been and you can't change it - never mind there's no law that says they can't do it. Very depressing book.
