• Abstract:
  
  
  The space of the mikveh and the ritual of purification associated with it constitute a characteristic and unique aspect of Jewish cultural heritage. Its philosophical and structural assumptions were written in the canonical texts of Jewish law – the Tanakh and the Talmud. For the diaspora, mikvehs became a space intended primarily for women, serving their ritual, monthly cleansing after menstruation. The paper focuses on the description of the mikveh ritual in the work of Malka Lee – a woman born into an orthodox Jewish family at the beginning of the 20th century but who abandoned ritual religiosity as she entered adulthood. Through the analysis of her memories and poems, based on the concept of corporeal feminism, I examine the transformations of the gender cultural body construct in the face of social changes of the 20th century – referring to the individual experience of the author and the broader context of her generation.
