I picked up this book because I'm trying to read more about Zionism's origins - I want to read actual texts from before the founding of Israel. I started with American Jewess, a magazine published 1895-1899. In the first issue was an article about Nahida Remy and her book, The Jewish Woman. 

You can read yourself online (link below). I don't know what I was expecting from this book - I'm still new to the topic/research... but it was mainly information about specific Jewish women throughout history. What I found most useful/interesting was the history aspect woven into some chapters. This focused a lot on the Middle Ages. 

Parts of this book felt like a backhanded comment about Jewish women... for example, on the "modern" Jewish woman: (modern meaning when this was published in 1895)

Jewish women appeared to the observer, in former times, as the most faithful wife, the most devoted mother, and the chastest woman. Is it still so? In general, perhaps; but no more as a rule without exceptions, as it was formerly the case. The ladies of our period seem to exist more for society than for the home; to dress attractively, more for the sake of strangers than for the sake of the husband.
