Hyman, Paula E. and Ofer, Dalia, eds
"Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia - Online Edition" by Hyman, Paula E. and Ofer, Dalia, eds. Jewish Women's Archive, 2009
Synopsis: This encyclopedia seeks to make available to all who are interested in Jewish history and culture the varied accomplishments of Jewish women and their many contributions to the Jewish historical experience over the course of the past three millennia. The online edition makes this wealth of information available to anyone, anywhere, and will allow scholars and more casual readers to propose updates and, in a later stage, to upload new articles. This first iteration creates easy access to the articles on the CD-ROM and gives users the opportunity to add links, updates, and suggestions for new content.
