Calling the equality bluff" offers a broad picture of the experience of women
in Israel, focusing on feminist concerns and on the unique aspects of Israeli
society. This feminist anthology covers a wide range of issues, including the
spectre of war, life in a Jewish state, family, work, the kibbutz and the
moshav, politics, and Israeli feminism. Each of the seven sections begins with
an article designed to give the reader an overview of the topic, followed by
articles which examine specific issues and questions. In addition, special case
studies are presented which add a personal dimension and serve to illustrate
theoretical points or research findings. While the focus is on secular Jewish
women, material is also included on religious, Arab, and oriental women.
