Description: Women are conspicuously absent from the Jewish mystical tradition. The mystical 17th-century messianic movement - known as Sabbatianism – had a highly liberationist attitude to women: the leader of the movement, Sabbatai Zevi, promised to make them 'as happy as men' by releasing them from the pangs of childbirth and the subjugation to their husbands ordained for women since biblical times. In this book, the author traces the diverse manifestations of this vision in every phase of Sabbatianism and its offshoots, demonstrating how the culmination of the Sabbatian endeavor was to transcend the traditional gender paradigm that had excluded women from the public arena of Jewish spiritual life.
