A history and celebration of Jewish women through the centuries.

This is an indispensable resource about the role of Jewish women from post-biblical times to the twentieth century. Unique in its approach, it is structured so that each chapter, which is divided into three parts, covers a specific period and geographical area.

The first section of the book contains an overview, explaining how historical events affected Jews in general and Jewish women in particular. This is followed by a section of biographical entries of women of the period whose lives are set in their economic, familial, and cultural backgrounds. The third and last part of each chapter, "The World of Jewish Women," is organized by topic and covers women's activities and interests and how Jewish laws concerning women developed and changed.

This comprehensive work is an easy-to-use sourcebook, synopsizing rich and diverse resources. By examining history and analyzing the dynamics of Jewish law and custom, it illuminates the circumstances of Jewish women's lives and traces the changes that have occurred throughout the centuries. It casts a new and clear light on Jewish women as individuals and sets women firmly within the context of their own cultural and historical periods.

The book contains illustrations, boxed text, extensive endnotes, and indices that list each woman by name. It is ideal for women's groups and study groups as well as students and scholars.

Great option for 100% cotton
Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: 11 - Bright White (No Comforter)
really love the look and feel of this duvet cover set. I had another duvet cover from bedsure that was polyester, but wanted to switch to 100% cotton. Bedsure is always spot on with quality. It is slightly rough but cotton gets softer the more it’s washed. I was debating between the bright white and natural white shades, and was worried that the bright white would pull too cool toned in my room but i’m so happy I chose it cause it looks so nice. The cover has high quality ties on the inside to attach to duvet cover and the zipper is also very durable. No loose strings or pilling. The fabric is cooling and lightweight. I read so many reviews before making purchases and was debating between this set or one that was more high end, and i’m happy I went with this option

Great quality
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 21 - Pastel Blue (No Comforter)
I absolutely love this comforter set. The material is incredibly soft and comfortable, and it makes the bed feel so cozy and inviting. It’s lightweight enough to stay comfortable at night but still warm and fluffy. The quality exceeded my expectations, especially for the price, and it looks beautiful in the room. It also washed really well without losing its softness or shape. Definitely one of the best bedding purchases I’ve made.

Comfortable, Breathable, and Worth Every Penny!
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 09 - Iceberg Green (No Comforter), Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 09 - Iceberg Green (No Comforter)
I decided to switch from synthetic bedding to 100% cotton, and I am SO glad I did. The quality of this set is amazing. I washed everything before using it, and it washed well overall. There were a few small cotton fuzzies after washing, but nothing a quick lint roll couldn’t fix. I ordered the sage green duvet cover and pillowcases, and the color is beautiful. In bright morning light it looks more like a true sage green, while in dimmer lighting it can lean more earthy or military green. Either way, it’s stunning, cozy, and really warms up the room. The biggest difference for me was the sleep quality. I normally wake up several times a night and overheat easily, but the first night sleeping with this duvet cover and my new 100% cotton sheets, I slept completely through the night without waking up once. The cotton feels slightly heavier in the best way -- cozy and tucked in without feeling hot or suffocating. It was truly the best night's sleep I have gotten in a very long time. I honestly didn’t realize how much fabric type could affect sleep quality until now. My body responded so well to the cotton that I don’t think I can ever go back to synthetic bedding again.

Color is off
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 15 - Petal Pink (No Comforter)
I ordered the petal pink, but the color is brighter and more peach colored than pictured. Besides that, it's super soft, easy to use and comfortable.
