Grace Aguilar (1818 1847), a prolific nineteenth-century novelist
and Jewish historian of Sephardic descent, was known for her works
of fiction, but in this 1845 publication she addresses Jewish
history from a female perspective. These two volumes consist of a
series of biographical essays on Old Testament, Talmudic and modern
Jewish women. Aguilar identifies a need for more female biography
of scripture, postulating a continuity between the biblical
matriarchs and the Jewish women of her generation. Addressing a
female readership, Aguilar writes in a didactic and highly
evangelical tone characteristic of the period, using her discussion
to argue for the emancipation of Jews, particularly Jewish women,
who should also have access to all Jewish religious texts. The
Women of Israel is divided into seven historical periods, and this
first volume deals with the first three. For more information on
