This article focuses on the cultural world of Jewish women in Eastern Europe between the 16th century and the beginning of the 19th century. It reveals the extent to which Yiddish language and literature were a means of gaining knowledge for such women. This is because Yiddish - a Jewish language that developed around 1000 years ago among the Jews living in Ashkenaz - was the language of the people, of ordinary life, of business and social relations, and also of the home and the kitchen. It was the language of female spaces, stigmatized by its 'humble' associations with women and uncultivated persons. In turn, Yiddish literature was closely associated with women and a female readership.

In this paper we study the Jewish feminist program expounded by the American theologian Judith Plaskow in her book Standing Again at Sinai. Focusing on her most important contributions, we summarize the project of a Jewish feminist theology capable of renewing the central categories of the Jewish religion (God, Torah, and Israel). This project is a fundamental part of a feminism with social and political implications. ; En este artículo nos acercamos al programa judeo-feminista expuesto por la teóloga americana Judith Plaskow en su libro Standing Again at Sinai.
