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.
