DescriptionAcross Israel, women are being harassed as a rising Orthodox Jewish faction seeks to suppress them. In this gripping expose, leading women's activist Elana Sztokman investigates the struggles of Israeli women against increasing religious and political intrusion, from segregation on public buses to being barred from public events to being erased from newspapers and advertising. THE WAR ON WOMEN IN ISRAEL weaves together interviews and investigative research in a cutting-edge look at this alarming reality, and proposes solutions for creating a different, more egalitarian vision for religious culture both in Israeli society and around the world.
