Women and Gender in Jewish Philosophy is the first systematic attempt to                  interpret the Jewish philosophical tradition in light of feminist philosophy and to                  engage feminist philosophy from the perspective of Jewish philosophy. Written by                  Jewish women who are trained in philosophy, the 13 original essays presented here                  demonstrate that no analysis of Jewish philosophy (historical or constructive) can                  be adequate without attention to gender categories. The essays cover the entire                  Jewish philosophic tradition from Philo, through Maimonides, to Levinas, and they                  rethink the subdisciplines of Jewish philosophy, including metaphysics,                  epistemology, ethics, political theory, and theology. This volume offers an                  invitation for a new conversation between feminist philosophy and Jewish philosophy                  as well as a novel contribution to contemporary Jewish                  philosophy.Contributors are Leora Batnitzky, Jean Axelrad Cahan,                  Idit Dobbs-Weinstein, Claire Elise Katz, Nancy Levene, Sandra B. Lubarsky, Sarah                  Pessin, Randi Rashkover, Heidi Miriam Ravven, T. M. Rudavsky, Suzanne Last Stone,                  Hava Tirosh-Samuelson, and Laurie Zoloth.
