Standing Again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective by Judith Plaskow

challenging informative

4.0

(Written in the mid-80s, released in 1990, this book definitely has aged unevenly in some ways. The theology is still very, very sound, as is the overall analysis; absolutely worth reading, it's still very relevant. But anyone reading this in 2021 should know that things are constructed very much along a gender binary, and there isn't much intersectional analysis - both of which the author has acknowledged in recent interviews as things she would change were she revisiting it. One thing that did bother me, though, was the author's repeated use of disability as a metaphor for barriers to women; this didn't explicitly come up in any interviews, so I just wanted to note it here.)
