In the early 1970s, a small group of eight middle-class Jewish women transformed Conservative Judaism by demanding unprecedented gender equality in religious practice. Operating at the intersection of Jewish intellectual tradition, feminist consciousness, and social activism, Ezrat Nashim emerged from the progressive milieu of Ramah summer camps and the New York Havurah movement to become a pivotal force in American Jewish feminism. Through analysis of archival materials, contemporary publications, and participant accounts, this research traces the organization's evolution from intimate study sessions to its watershed confrontation with the Rabbinical Assembly Convention in March 1972. The group's demands—including full synagogue membership, minyan participation, and access to rabbinical training for women—challenged fundamental gender restrictions within Conservative Judaism. While Ezrat Nashim's direct activism proved relatively brief before returning to its consciousness-raising roots, the organization established enduring precedents that shaped subsequent Jewish feminist movements. Their legacy continues to influence contemporary debates about women's roles in Jewish religious life, demonstrating how targeted activism can catalyze lasting institutional change.
