It is a question that we who are involved in the Jewish feminist movement ask ourselves and each other, and I am sure that it is the burning question that the larger Jewish community is asking about us. Where do I come from? I was a late bloomer with respect to feminism, Jewish or otherwise. Despite my history, my religious life was all ritual with little meaning, and I had stopped attending synagogue.

What will you show her? I returned to the synagogue because of my daughter and a second who followed her, but with a new sense of purpose. I was determined to work for change in the status of women in all areas of Jewish life. The secular feminist movement and women like Betty Friedan certainly influenced me and helped me to understand the unease I had felt.

But it was Blu Greenberg and my own smart and provocative mother who brought feminist ideas into my Jewish life.
