recommendations?

Does anyone know a good novel dealing with Judaism and feminism? Or Jewish women? Other than The Red Tent, I've got that one.

I'd prefer fiction, but if you know some good non-fiction on the subjects, I'd love that too.

Thanks!

Yes - 'Disobedience' by Naomi Alderman will fit the bill.

It is about an Orthodox Jewish woman who has left that world behind and moved to NYC. When her father, a revered Rabbi, passes away she returns to Hendon in London to settle his estate.

I am sure there are many more (on the page at Amazon when I looked up the above there were others mentioned in their 'customers who bought this book' section) but this one I read and loved.

Gravity by Leanne Lieberman might work.

This doesn't help you with the feminism part necessarily, but this list may be helpful to you: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/16004751/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_b_1_4_last

I enjoyed Orson Scott Card's "Women of Genesis" trilogy about the Jewish matriarchs.
