Education/career
Miriam Peskowitz holds a PhD in Religion and Women's Studies, and is the author of two critically acclaimed academic books, Judaism Since Gender and Spinning Fantasies. She was an award-winning and tenured professor at the University of Florida, and has also taught at Emory University, Temple University, and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She left her tenured post in 1998 when her first child was born and her workplace had no formal family leave policy for professors. Since then, she has devoted herself to raising awareness of the challenges and discrimination that women and mothers still face in our society. She does this because she truly believes that America can be a place where all of us find justice.[2]
