Rashi's Daughter, Secret Scholar

The tale of a young girl who challenges conventions to engage in Jewish learning.

Joheved has a secret…
She is no ordinary girl. Smart and independent, she wants more from the world than what is permitted in 11th century France. Her life changes when her father, Salomon ben Isaac (one day to be known as Rashi, the great Jewish Bible and Talmud commentator), begins secretly teaching her Talmud. But Joheved must keep her passion for learning hidden—even from her betrothed, Meir ben Samuel. How long can she continue her deception and what will happen when, inevitably, her scholarship is out in the open?
