| In her essay the author provides a thorough analysis of changes in the status of Jewish women who immigrated to Israel from Yemen. The transition of Yemenite women from a traditional-religious society to a western-secular society is marked by certain ambivalence. A change occurred in their status and in their gender roles and they became integrated both economically and socially. However, the new values underwent a certain degree of filtration as they accepted some elements while rejecting others. |
