How do women in conservative religious movements expand spaces for
political activism in ways that go beyond their movements' strict
ideas about male and female roles? How and why does this activism
happen in some movements but not in others? Righteous
Transgressions examines these questions by comparatively studying
four groups: the Jewish settlers in the West Bank, the
ultra-Orthodox Shas, the Islamic Movement in Israel, and the
Palestinian Hamas. Lihi Ben Shitrit demonstrates that women's
prioritization of a nationalist agenda over a proselytizing one
shapes their activist involvement. Ben Shitrit shows how women
construct "frames of exception" that temporarily suspend, rather
than challenge, some of the limiting aspects of their movements'
gender ideology. Viewing women as agents in such movements, she
analyzes the ways in which activists use nationalism to astutely
reframe gender role transgressions from inappropriate to righteous.
The author engages the literature on women's agency in Muslim and
Jewish religious contexts, and sheds light on the centrality of
women's activism to the promotion of the spiritual, social,
cultural, and political agendas of both the Israeli and Palestinian
religious right. Looking at the four most influential political
movements of the Israeli and Palestinian religious right, Righteous
Transgressions reveals how the bounds of gender expectations can be
crossed for the political good.
