Summary
Based on a study of more than 100 Yiddish manuscripts from the Netherlands, this article draws attention especially to manuscripts written by or dedicated to women. Both men and women were able to participate in discourse, to fulfil and to create rituals, and to fill old traditions with new content, but their power and the possibilities available to them were dissimilar.
