Influential Jewish Feminists and questions on feminism

So I’m doing a power point for me Sociology 101 class on my culture. I’ve decided to showcase Jewish American Feminists. I know of many Jewish women who would be consider first and second wavers but I’m falling short with the third wave. We have Elizabeth Wurtzel. Also Eve Ensler, who I’ve spoken to and she considers her self waveless. “It’s all one part of one continuous journey.” 

Can you name some new influential jewish feminists?

Any input related to the subject would extremely helpful. Also I’m putting together  a quick quiz to show how feminist most of my classmate are and encourage them to aline themselves to based on the results. 

Explain yes/no 

  • Women should be economically and socially independent. They shouldn’t have rely on men to take care of them.
  • Men and women should be paid the same wage for the same work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for the help in advance.
