Introduction

Picture 16

By the end of the nineteenth century, the societies of the Middle East and North Africa, along with other members of the world community, had witnessed far-reaching changes triggered by political, economic, social, and cultural developments. This study focuses on those changes influencing Jewish women in Libya during the late nineteenth century until the mass emigration of Jews from Libya in the mid-twentieth century. It examines how changes in Libyan society as a whole (including foreign interventions) affected Libyan Jewish women and analyzes the developments in their status, family life, work, education, and participation in public life. It also examines how the developments in each of these spheres influenced one another and how changes were woven into the traditional way of life and thought.

THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN LIBYA

With the departure of more than 4,000 Jews from Libya in the summer of 1967, a virtual end was put to the ancient Jewish presence in the region. The hasty mass evacuation of Jews from Libya in 1967 was triggered by the anti-Jewish riots in Tripoli during the Arab-Israeli Six-Day

Prior to this, there was little voluntary population movement among the Libyan Jews: they experienced no significant permanent migration waves, and the size and spread of their settlements were conditioned primarily by external factors, such as economic hardships and security problems. Roman retaliation following the revolt against Trajan in Cyrenaica (11517 CE ), the Arab penetration starting in the mid-seventh century, and continuous rebellions of the indigenous population against the central regime, which often resulted in mass deportationsall these as well as environmental and economic factors contributed to the decreasing numbers of Libyan Jews and their isolation from the rest of the Jewish world. When the Ottomans occupied Tripoli in 1551, there were hardly any urban Jews in Libya. In the following years, Jews from the Tripolitanian hinterland gradually moved to the Mediterranean coastal towns and brought with them numerous manners and customs that were influenced by those of the non-Jewish majority.
