Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll (born 1975)[1] is an American-Israeli activist and writer whose work focuses on women's rights in Orthodox Judaism and the visibility of women in Israel's Orthodox communities.

Keats Jaskoll was born and raised in Lakewood Township, New Jersey[1] in a Jewish but non-Orthodox family. After migrating to Israel in 2007, Keats Jaskoll gained public attention through her co-founding and leadership of a women's advocacy group Chochmat Nashim and her writing at the Times of Israel news site.[2][3][4] A key issue promoted by Keats Jaskoll is the combatting of the fundamentalist trend among some Orthodox Jewish publications to refuse the printing of any visual depiction of women.[5]
