I intend to create an article researching the role of Jewish women in the early modern history period. While our textbook goes to great lengths detailing the critical role of men in Jewish society, it neglectfully (or inadequately) details the role of women. Nor does Wikipedia have an article depicting this topic. I plan to include subsections in three of the critical regions of the early modern time period: Poland-Lithuania, Italy, and the Ottoman empire. I have reason to believe women played different roles in each of these different societies, and I want to explore and detail those differences. I believe this is an important topic, as 50% of the population has gone virtually unexplored in Jewish history. I wish to give others interested in this topic a summation of the importance of women in Jewish history and culture. Although this doesn't coincide with my topic chosen for the analytic paper, the role of Jewish women in politics and religion may ultimately show significance, which in turn may correspond well with my analytic paper.
Several sources I have chosen for this article are as follows:
-Jewish Women in Historical Perspective by Judith Baskin, 1998
-In the House of the law: gender and islamic law in Ottoman Syria and Palestine by Judith Tucker
-A Social and Religious History of the Jews, Vol. 16, Poland-Lithuania by Salo Baron
-Encyclopedia of the Renaissance by Paul Grendler
-Jewish Women's Archive jwa.org
