| 1. |  | A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book from Spiegel & Grau Price: $19.99 Customer Review:  I love this book because it has so much history and tells you where the prayers come from, often who wrote them and why, and what situation they were in when each one was written. Some of the prayers are translations or alternate versions of standard prayers found in standard siddurim. Each prayer... |

| 2. |  | Great Jewish Women from Jonathan David Publishers Price: $7.97 Customer Review: I have been giving this as a Bat Mitzvah gift for years. Recently, 5 middle aged plus women in my congregation shared in a B'not Mitzvah Service. They were just as excited as the young ladies to get this book. It's fun watching them scan the contents and remark, "I didn't know xxx was Jewish?!"... |

| 3. |  | Jewish Tales of Holy Women from Jossey-Bass Price: $8.99 Customer Review:  The book is okay. I feel like when there isn't an explanation at the end of one of the stories is when he should have written one the most, if that makes any sense. Also a little disappointed because some of the text just disappears on my Kindle. I'll be reading and come to the middle of a sentence... |

As an independent, educated and vocal person, I was nervous about entering into a society that I thought wouldn't support the kind of woman I am. Boy, was I... |

| 12. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $8.49 Customer Review: I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to... |

| 13. |  | The JGirl's Guide: The Young Jewish Woman's Handbook For Coming Of Age from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $5.16 Customer Review: The subtitle tells it all. This volume addresses teenage girls directly on topics such as Jewish identity, friendship, honoring parents, body image issues, sexuality, health, gossip, social responsibility and more. Three authors make for a somewhat disjointed reading experience. A very long... |

| 15. |  | The Receiving: Reclaiming Jewish Women's Wisdom from HarperOne Price: $7.55 Customer Review: This is an excellent book for learning about Kabbalah and the unknown (for most part) great Jewish women religious leaders of the past. Each woman history is used to set up one of Kabbalah's teaching. I come from a Jewish background which questioned Kabbalah and its mystic element. After reading... |

| 21. |  | Fifty Jewish Women Who Changed The World from Citadel Price: $9.22 Customer Review: The short biographies here are well- written. But I have a number of quarrels with the selection of the book, and with its title. The phrase 'changed the world' seems to me a bit large when describing the lives of popular entertainers ( Barbra Steisand) fashion designers (Trigano) and minor literary... |
