"The Rabbi¿s Wife" reveals the ways these women succeeded in both building crucial leadership roles for themselves and becoming an important force in shaping Jewish life in America.Schwartz writes this book as a scholar¿she is a professor and dean at Jewish Theological Seminay¿but also as a rebbetzin herself; for nearly 25 years, she was a rabbi's wife.

In this well-written work, the women are no longer footnotes to their husbands¿ career.
