Jewish Lesbian Scholarship in a Time of ChangeÉdition 1

Jewish Lesbian Scholarship in a Time of Change is the first major work in Jewish lesbian studies in more than a decade.

Once a vibrant field, few works in Jewish queer studies in recent years have looked at the experiences of, and scholarship on, Jewish women, feminists, and those identified as lesbians. Correcting a twenty-first century shift away from explicitly feminist investigations in Jewish queer and LBGTQ studies, this work signals a new trend of scholarly works in the field. The chapters span an array of genres, presenting the rich diversity of Jewish lesbians as they are, as well as of Jewish lesbian scholarship today. This collection makes an innovative contribution to Jewish studies, lesbian and queer studies, gender studies, as well as to racial and cultural diversity studies.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies.
