The first Jewish feminist to identify herself as a theologian, Judith Plaskow has created a distinctively Jewish theology that is at once academically rigorous, politically leftist and firmly woman-centered.

Judith Plaskow, professor emerita of religious studies at Manhattan College, is one of eight inductees into the National Women's Hall of Fame for 2024. Plaskow joins an elite group of 315 women that includes historical figures such as Clara Barton and Helen Keller and more contemporary individuals such as Jane Fonda and Aretha Franklin.
