Women in Judaism Katie Taylor The position of women in normal Judaism have been revoltingly distorted & misunderstood. The role of women is not practically as deprived the way a lot of present-day people may believe; in actuality‚ the role of women in Jewish Law dates back to the biblical era which in numerous ways has improved more than the role of women within the American civil law.
