Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Dahlia Moore explores the social and cultural forces at play in Israeli society and their effects on the changing status of women. While delving into some of Israel's unique and influential forces, such as the army, religious sects, and recent immigration, Moore also broadens her perspective, juxtaposing the status of Israeli women with that of women in other Western societies. This is an excellent resource for scholars of gender and gender attitudes looking beyond North America and Europe.
