Judaism is widely considered a patriarchal system in which women have very limited, peripheral roles, as little more than necessary bearers of children. Unfortunately, this view has caused misunderstanding, both inside the Jewish community and out, feeding the outrage of the feminist movement—both inside the Jewish community and out. This misunderstanding has also fed distortions in religions influenced by the Jewish Bible—the TaNaKH (Torah, Nach [Prophets], and Ketuvim [Writings]). Once we study the Biblical accounts closely, we can see the vibrant, essential role women play, and we can understand the precept this sets for women throughout history.
