In my bais yaakov upbringing I felt stifled by the de rigeuer chumash, navi, and mishlei, things that were appropriate for girls to learn but never quite stimulating enough for me. I wished to learn gemara; to be treated as an equal. I would watch the men dance with the Toarh on Simchas Torah and feel a profound sense of loss that it was not me.
