This book investigates one of the major issues that runs through
the history of Italian Judaism in the aftermath of emancipation:
the correlation between integration, seen as the acquisition of
citizenship and culture without renouncing Jewish identity, and
assimilation, intended as an open refusal of Judaism of any
participation in the community. On account of that correlation,
identity has become one of the crucial problems in the history of
the Italian Jewish community. This volume aims to discuss the
setting of construction and formation--the family-- and focuses on
women's experiences, specifically. Indeed, women were called
through emancipation to ensure the continuity of Jewish religious
and cultural heritage. It speaks to the growing interest for
Women's and Gender Studies in Italy, and for the research on
women's organizations which testify to the strong presence of
Jewish women in the emancipation movement. These women formed a
sisterhood that fought to obtain rights that were until then only
accorded to men, and they were deeply socially engaged in such a
way that was crucial to the overall process of the integration of
Jews into Italian society.
