Women and Womanhood in the Talmud

Meer over het boek

Valler examines and interprets five clusters of stories about women in the Talmud and Mishnah to reveal aspects that are not apparent on a simple reading. She focuses on how the editor of the stories reworked them so they would express his own point of view of matters relating to women, then makes the same point again when he joined them together into a collection.
