Abstract

[Following the emancipation of 1848, the “woman question” was at the center of a vigorous debate among the Jewish religious and cultural elite. This debate, conducted by male voices only, found its central forum in the press. While the essential mission of women as wives and mothers was reaffirmed by emancipation, there was also new consideration for improving women’s religious education, which was accompanied by intense philanthropic and educational activity by women. New opportunities to work were made available to economically disadvantaged women and girls. For a woman to work outside the home was understood as necessary for the moral and economic well-being of the family, but the model of the woman as wife and mother who was devoted primarily to the family remained unchanged.]
