Beginning in the 1980's, orthodoxy has emerged as an important subject in both American Jewish and Israeli women's fiction. This dissertation explores Israeli women's fiction published between 1980 and the present that represents orthodoxy. The texts that I address reflect women's diverse attempts to negotiate a terrain fraught with conflict between feminism and orthodoxy. They range from critique of orthodoxy to a revaluing of tradition begun by American women writers out of a sense of loss and rupture and continued by Israeli women who seek in different ways fully to claim both female autonomy and Jewish culture and spirituality.

520 $a Beginning in the 1980's, orthodoxy has emerged as an important subject in both American Jewish and Israeli women's fiction. This dissertation explores Israeli women's fiction published between 1980 and the present that represents orthodoxy. The texts that I address reflect women's diverse attempts to negotiate a terrain fraught with conflict between feminism and orthodoxy. They range from critique of orthodoxy to a revaluing of tradition begun by American women writers out of a sense of loss and rupture and continued by Israeli women who seek in different ways fully to claim both female autonomy and Jewish culture and spirituality.
520 $a I analyze Israeli literary representations of orthodoxy by examining challenging issues that recur throughout this corpus: female embodiment, mother-daughter relations, attitudes toward traditional sources, and Israeli politics. Out of the diversity of women's writing on orthodoxy, I define several approaches to these issues. Writers who live within the haredi context represent gender boundaries and other aspects of orthodoxy as non-negotiable and highlight the impossibility of female subject autonomy within haredi culture. In contrast, writers from modern orthodox backgrounds or who portray modern orthodoxy are more sympathetic to both haredi and modern orthodoxy and explore, with varying emphases, possibilities for synthesis between feminism and Judaism.
520 $a This body of fiction demonstrates how in diverse ways Jewish women display feminist consciousness to critique orthodoxy and also to transform it by revising gender roles within it and by constructing complex characters who refuse narrow definitions of religious and cultural affiliation. Much of the fiction stakes out a middle ground between secular and religious identity that has heretofore not been well-developed in Israeli literature.
