The author explores the meaning of gender identity for religious and secular Jewish and Arab women in Israeli society, focusing on how Israeli women rank gender identity relative to other religious, secular, ethnic or political identities. The author examines the characteristics of gender identity and related attitudes, and demonstrates that the hierarchies of identities are different for religious and secular Jewish and Arab women, and that this is related to having different sociopolitical attitudes (e.g., women’s social and political involvement, social obedience, and social influence). Thus the hierarchy of identities and the sociopolitical attitudes of religious women indicate a more consensual acceptance of the social order than the hierarchy of identities and sociopolitical attitudes of secular women, especially among the Arab women.
