Abstract

[In the 1870s the debate on the “woman question” continued. The voice of men was joined by that of women, and not only within the Jewish community. Criticism by an anonymous female journalist of her female coreligionists who sacrificed family and their children’s religious education on the altar of work appeared in The Jewish Banner, a conservative periodical. In the same period in emancipationist journals, other Jewish women claimed the right to a real education and economic independence for all women by appealing to the social value of motherhood. The commitment of Jewish women to the female cause was linked to their religious and cultural profile. For centuries, Jewish tradition attributed a social, as well as a moral and an educational dimension to motherhood.]
