Sex Rewarded, Sex Punished: A Study of the Status 'Female Slave' in Early Jewish Law - Judaism and Jewish Life
Kriger, Diane, Ph.D
A masterful intersection of Bible Studies, Gender Studies, and Rabbinic law, this explores the laws pertaining to female slaves in Jewish law. Comparing Biblical strictures with later Rabbinic interpretations as well as contemporary Greco-Roman and Babylonian codes of law, it establishes a framework whereby a woman’s sexual identity also indicates her legal status.
