This dissertation examines the ways that, between 1830 and 1880 in France, Jewish women contributed to the development of ideas about Jewish femininity and experienced the ongoing process of Jewish integration. During this period, Jews became increasingly visible in finance, politics, and the arts, which prompted debates about their place in French society. Jewish women especially rose to prominence in literature and theater. At the same time, Jewish leaders grappled with waves of anti-Jewish rhetoric and reconsidered women's roles in religion and the home. Through close analysis of published and archival sources, I argue that Jewish women challenged and shaped their roles in the Jewish family and the boundaries between French and Jewish identity. I build my study around multiple female writers and performers that audiences and critics identified as Jewish: novelist Eugenie Foa (1796-1852) and journalist Julienne Bloch (1833-1868); singer Cornelie Falcon (1814-1897); and actresses Rachel Felix (1821-1858) and Judith Bernat-Derosne (1827-1912). First, I analyze Foa and Bloch's criticism of Jewish culture and French society and their strategies for establishing a professional identity as French Jewish writers. Then, I trace the evolution of the public images of Falcon at the Royal Academy of Music, the national opera, and Rachel and Judith at the Comedie-Francaise, the national theater. Association with the Jewish community provided all of these women with a range of professional and social limitations and opportunities. This study sheds new light on nineteenth-century Jewish women's history and women's attitudes towards and understandings of the national, religious, and gendered identities that shaped their lives.
