Although neglected, the study of gender  is indispensable for an understanding of the society and culture of Dutch Sephardim in early modern Amsterdam. In this presentation, we will  explore the attitude of the communal officials towards women, but the emphasis will be on the the roles of Sephardic women of all classes  in the family and economy. We will also describe and analyze their education and cultural identities.
