The Agunah Issue. No doubt written at a time of marital tension among immigrants, with dislocated families, lengthy or even permanent separations, all a result of immigration to America. The work engendered opposition from many Rabbis due to the leniencies advocated by the author. For biographical details of the author, see Goldman 1020
