      ab: The article focuses on the condition of Jewish widows in traditional societies. In traditional societies widowhood was effectively a passport to freedom, a chance for women who had previously been under the jurisdiction of their fathers, brothers, and husbands to be independent, examine their lives, and reevaluate their future. The empowerment of a woman who did not belong to a man threatened the stability of the community and posed a danger or at least a problem in a patriarchal society. This passport was valid not only for economic activities, but also for geographical mobility.
