Traces the
changing status of women in the Jewish community in Libya from the second half

Jews were influenced by the Berber and Arab Muslim culture and its evolution;
their interactions with the colonizing European powers 1911-51; and how
increasing educational and economic opportunities had little effect on women's
private or public status within the patriarchal structure. Annotation copyright
