Abstract

[At the beginning of the twentieth century, the intense debate on the “woman question” continued in The Jewish Banner Il Vessillo Israelitico. Conservative opinion opposed the intellectual and economic emancipation of women in the name of Judaism.

A significant number of Jewish women were involved in the female emancipation movement, especially in associations aimed at eliminating poverty. Their participation reflected one of the founding values of the Jewish tradition, Tzedakah (justice): the duty to give the poor the means to lift themselves out of poverty by their own efforts.]
