In a time of significant change, Jewish Lesbian Scholarship emerges as a groundbreaking and pioneering work in Jewish lesbian studies, marking a notable resurgence after a decade-long hiatus. Once a thriving field, the recent landscape of Jewish queer studies has notably lacked attention to the experiences and scholarship of Jewish women, feminists, and those identified as lesbians. This groundbreaking work seeks to rectify a twenty-first-century shift away from explicitly feminist inquiries in Jewish queer and LBGTQ studies, heralding a new trend of scholarly endeavors within the field. Spanning a diverse range of genres, the chapters in this collection present a captivating portrayal of Jewish lesbians as they truly are, as well as the vibrant landscape of Jewish lesbian scholarship in the present day. This remarkable collection makes a groundbreaking contribution to Jewish studies, lesbian and queer studies, gender studies, as well as to racial and cultural diversity studies.

Originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies, this book stands as a testament to the enduring significance of exploring the lives and contributions of Jewish lesbians. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and activists alike, shedding light on the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ identities and fostering a deeper understanding of the multifaceted complexities of Jewish culture and society.
