Jewish Women and the Feminist Revolution

Jewish women have played key roles in building and advancing the modern American women's movement. As activists, professionals, artists, and intellectuals, they have shaped every aspect of American life. Drawing on the insights of feminism, they have also transformed the Jewish community.

The Jewish Women's Archive (JWA) has created an online exhibit, Jewish Women and the Feminist Revolution, where you can explore the powerful contributions of Jewish feminists through their own words and historical artifacts. The slideshow below features selected images from Jewish Women and the Feminist Revolution. To experience the multimedia exhibit and learn more about Jewish women's impact on feminism and on the American Jewish community, go to http://www.jwa.org/feminism.
