Most ancient societies were patriarchal in outlook, but not all patriarchies are equally condescending toward women. Impelled by the gnawing question of whether the inferiority of women is integral to the Torah's vision, Sassoon sets out to determine where the Bible, the Talmud and related literature, especially the Dead Sea Scrolls, sit on this continuum of patriarchal condescension. Of course, there are multiple voices in both Biblical and Talmudic literature, but more surprising is how divergent these voices are. Some points of view seem intent on the disenfranchisement and domestication of women, whereas others prove to be not far short of egalitarian. Opinions that downplay the applicability of the biblical commandments to women and that strongly deprecate Torah study by women emerge from this study as arguably no more than the views of an especially vocal minority.

A Commentary on Jewish Feminism: Every page of the Bible, every page of Jewish history, every paragraph in Jewish law, every word in Jewish tradition, every household, both past and present, and Jewish life in its totality are a clear testimony of the high esteem and high position held by the Jewish woman throughout the centuries up to this day. In this book, "The Role and Status of Women in Jewish Tradition", Dr. Moshe Avital presents an in-depth examination of the subject and discusses changes relating to Jewish women that have been made in halacha (Jewish law). Just as no one dreamed a century ago that a time would come when Jewish women would study a Judaic Studies curriculum similar to that of Jewish men, Dr. Avital foresees other changes likely to occur in the near future in the Jewish communities in Israel, America and elsewhere regarding the role and status of Jewish women. Dr. Avital examines issues that have not been resolved, and studies solutions that, on the one hand, keep the basic traditions intact, but on the other, serve Jewish society by considering the woman's spiritual needs and individual aspirations.
