My paper examines the often overlooked political role of women in Israel’s religious-Zionist settler movement, and in so doing examines the inherently gendered nature of the settlement movement. From the heart of Hebron to the hilltops of the northern West Bank, women have played a substantial role in protest, activism, organizing, and the general political life of radical far right settlers. The nature and scope of their participation is, however, often obscured by common assumptions about the relationship between the public and private spheres and women’s position within them (in particular religiously conservative women); the endurance of traditional ideas regarding women’s roles in national processes; and the women’s own framing of their roles and responsibilities as rooted in maternity and domesticity—in spite of, and at times precisely in defense of, their participation in political activity. My central argument is that religious-Zionist settler women’s overlapping subjectivities—Israeli, Orthodox Jewish, settler—express themselves in gendered ways and act on each other to produce a status quo that habitually challenges the relationship between the public and private spheres, and above all the idea that they are separate. This dynamic hinges on something that could, in a traditional reading of the public and private spheres, be considered a paradox: that the settlement enterprise is at once the largest project the Israeli state has ever undertaken and the recipient of vast amounts of public resources, while also being, essentially, a mass home- and community-building movement. In other words, the settlement project erodes any potential boundary between the public and private spheres by explicitly flipping the domestic space into the very site of national and political contestation. Seen in this light, the settlement enterprise is an inherently gendered one—and one that accumulates additional layers of gendered meaning when its torchbearers are fundamentalist women. My paper is divided into three parts: firstly, I consider the role of women in the public sphere and national processes in Israel in general; secondly, I explore the centrality of domesticity to the settler project, including its historical context vis-à-vis settler colonialism; and thirdly, I look at several examples of religious-Zionist settler women’s activism, in order to consider how the domestic, private realm in the occupied territories and women’s roles within it (as constituted within their Orthodox, nationalist framework) are instrumentalized by the religious far right in pursuit of their national and spiritual goals.
