Professor Feldman is the Abraham I. Katsch Professor of Hebrew Culture and Professor of Gender and Comparative Literature at New York University, and author of several books and numerous articles. Her most recent study is A Room of Their Own: Gender and Nation in Israeli Women's Fiction, which appeared in 1999.

She is currently engaged in a study of the influence of the Akedah (The Binding of Isaac) on Hebrew literature from ancient through modern times. During her recent visit to Israel, she lectured on the subject at the Israeli Society for Psychoanalysis in Jerusalem. She also organized and lectured at a symposium at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute in memory of Shulamit Hareven, a leading political commentator and author who died last year.
