In 'Two Steps Forward, One Step Back, ' Dahlia Moore explores the
social and cultural forces at play in Israeli society and their eff
ects on the changing status of women. While delving into some of
Israel's unique and influential forces, such as the army, religious
sects, and recent immigration, Moore also broadens her perspective,
juxtaposing the status of Israeli women with that of women in other
Western societies
Occupational sex segregation is one of the most universal and
salient characteristics of labor markets. It indicates the
different probabilities of members of both genders to take up
particular occupations, and traditionally places women at a great
disadvantage. This book, first published in 1992, focuses on a
comparative analysis of sex-segregated occupational categories and
attempts to systematically examine their implications. Since very
little is known about Israeli working women, and given the cultural
differences between Israel and other, more studied industrialised
nations, this book focuses on the Israeli labor market. Through the
utilization of several theoretical approaches, combining economic,
sociological, and social-psychological perspectives, the book
analyses empirical findings concerning labor market perceptions,
attitudes and behaviors.

While delving into some of Israel's unique and influential forces,

also broadens her perspective, juxtaposing the status of Israeli
women with that of women in other Western societies. This is an
excellent resource for scholars of gender and gender attitudes
looking beyond North America and Europe.
This work determines the processes that strengthen hostility
between opposing groups and identifies those who are willing to act
in order to change these situations. The backdrop of the
Arab-Israeli conflict is used to demonstrate how collective
identities are shaped by membership in ethnic and religious groups,
and how these identities influence attitudes and behavior. It
examines political attitudes, hatred of "others," and willingness
to assume responsibility for the various social issues of this
conflict. This book takes a fresh approach to the Arab-Israeli
conflict by relating it to three distinct societies: Jews, Arabs,
and Palestinians. Though it deals with conflict, this assessment is
optimistic in the sense that it shows that bridges can be built and
maintained among these groups. These bridges are still small and
fragile, but may be the structures upon which more elaborate
relationships may be developed.

A young poet with borderline personality disorder wrote a vague
auto-biography, the book. Dahlia Moore sets the stage with an 'all
cards on the table' collection to connect with readers. The
original copy of Burnt Velvet was an exercise for therapy session
that Moore attended.
