Abstract: This dissertation is an exploration of the relationship between Jewish and feminist identities, based on oral history interviews with twenty-eight Jews who participated in the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Four paradigms for negotiating Jewish and feminist identities are described. The interview accounts analyzed here yield narratives of Jewish-feminist identity conflict as well as Jewish-feminist congruence. Despite a history of gender inequality within Judaism, many Jewish feminists portray Jewish culture and feminism as compatible. This study contributes to theories of intersectionality in gender studies by adding the voices of a group that has been mostly absent from this discussion.
