  • “Bad Girls”: Transgressive Narratives and Rebellious Daughters in Contemporary British Jewish Women’S Writing
    JEWISH “BAD GIRLS”: TRANSGRESSIVE NARRATIVES AND REBELLIOUS DAUGHTERS IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH JEWISH WOMEN’S WRITING Efraim Sicher* ABSTRACT: This contribution to a special issue on gender looKs at contemporary Jewish women fiction writers in the UK who, following the sexual revolution, depict the rebellion against the restrictive gender roles and behavioural rules of the Jewish home. I will argue that the subversive representation of transgressive behavior demonstrates tensions between, on the one hand, loyalty to the Jewish home and the imperative of communal or tribal continuity and, on the other, the pull of ideologies and agendas which encourage women to be independent in a society that affords them freedom to do what they want. Introduction: Rebellious Bodies Alix is a tough woman, tough because her father Saul Rebick fought back when the fascists re-emerged after the war in England; tough because she is a graduate of second-wave feminism in the seventies; tough because, after centuries of persecution and deportation, it is time for Jews to stand up for themselves, and especially a Jewish woman who has no patience for the patriarchal rules of the Bible or the Jewish family. Her answer to Hitler is “We’re still here,” the title of the 2002 novel by Linda Grant of which Alix is the female protagonist and one of the narrators.1 Alix is looking for a male partner who would be an equal in toughness. But as she nears the fifty-marK, Alix is becoming frustrated at waiting for the ideal solution to power relations in sex. Her body is betraying her; she relies on a woman’s cosmetic tricks to masK the unattractiveness of her age.
