Both traditions emerged from\u003cbr\u003eancient cultures born in the Middle East and both are rooted in texts and\u003cbr\u003etraditions that have often excluded women. At the same time, both groups have\u003cbr\u003erecently seen a resurgence in religious orthodoxy among women, as well as\u003cbr\u003egrowing feminist movements that challenge traditional religious structures. In the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States, Jews and Muslims operate as minority cultures, carving out a\u003cbr\u003eplace for religious and ethnic distinctiveness. The time is ripe for a volume\u003cbr\u003ethat explores the relationship between these two religions through the prism of\u003cbr\u003egender. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender in Judaism and Islam brings together\u003cbr\u003escholars working in the fields of Judaism and Islam to address a diverse range\u003cbr\u003eof topics, including gendered readings of texts, legal issues in marriage and\u003cbr\u003edivorce, ritual practices, and women's literary expressions\u003cbr\u003eand historical experiences, along with feminist influences within the Muslim\u003cbr\u003eand Jewish communities and issues affecting Jewish and Muslim women in\u003cbr\u003econtemporary society.
