Synopsis Women have been traditionally exempted form the study of Jewish law - the Talmud with its commentaries and subsequent codes and reponsa. This book makes some of the central halakhic sources on women accessible to contemporary readers. This essential sourcebook covers such topics as marriage, divorce, women's participation in public worship, the laws regarding the menstruant, contraception, abortion, and rape.
