The role and position of Jewish women between 200 BCE - 200 CELief, Hélène Rhona 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the role and position of Jewish women in the Near East
between 200 BCE - 200 CE. This was a very important period in Jewish legal and
cultural history.
The redaction of the Mishnah, the oldest extant body of Jewish law, was completed
at approximately the end of the time under review, and was to have a lasting
influence on the Jewish people.
No society exists in a vacuum. During these years the Jews lived within the GraecoRoman
Empire and this reflected on their attitudes towards women.
To appreciate this it has been necessary to go back in time to the Hebrew Bible and
to trace any attitudinal changes which occurred over the centuries.
Although the Mishnah has been regarded as the terminus ad quem of this
investigation, brief mention is also made of prevailing attitudes affecting women in
present day Jewish society. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.A. (Judaica)
