Seller's Description:
New. This book challenges the traditional assumptions regarding the historical development of Judaism; the author researches ancient stories involving Jewish spinners and weavers in order to reexamine the critical moment when rabbinic Judaism emerged as the dominant form of the religion; she shows how notions of female and male were developed by the rabbis of Roman Palestine, and why these distinctions were so important in the development of this religious tradition; while spinners and weavers performed ordinary tasks, their craft was symbolic of larger gender and sexual issues (red & brown pictorial cover with red & white lettering; a bright, clean, tight copy in perfect condition; available for immediate shipment)
