Call for Papers (2010) ? 45th International Congress on

?Picturing the Medieval and Pre-Modern Jewish Woman?This panel seeks

Shakespeare?s character of Jessica in the Merchant of Venice. A second
aim is to answer the question of whether images of Jewish women were loaded
with the same antisemitism so clearly articulated in images of Jewish men.
