Women in Israel cover

There are diverse and complex problems faced by women in Israel. This book explores  women's roles in teachers' labor conflicts, threatened motherhood within the welfare system, bureaucratic encounters faced by Ethiopian immigrant women, the lack of political representation amongst women, feminist activism against the sex industry, and gender power dynamics in gyms. It is a comprehensive feminist examination of women's diverse experiences in Israeli society over four decades and analyzes society during this time. As an ethnography, the book emphasizes a commitment to social justice and equality, and challenges prevailing social and gender research approaches.

“This is a fascinating book particularly because it covers the topic of women in Israel from so many different angles. That is the book's strong point. It's not eclectic but rather seamlessly flows from topic to topic, all brought together by the author's introduction.”• Judith Tydor Baumel-Schwartz, Bar Ilan University
