From Bruria to Vicki Knafo
In Israel, every women's group continues to fight its own battle, disengaged from any political and social context. It is as if Knafo's struggle is not class-related, as if the struggle against halakha is irrelevant to Arab women, as if the glass ceiling in the academic world differs from the glass ceiling in the manpower firms.
While Vicki Knafo and her friends are on hunger strike in Jerusalem, and feminist academics consider how best to accentuate the gender-based significance of their struggle, an utterly different drama is now being played out among national-religious women. From without, it shows signs of being a bitter cultural dispute, albeit one that affects a relatively small segment of the population.
