I agree that the women whose voices are included in the anthology, as well as many others who have been touched by the work of Miryam Kabakov and others, are indeed far from silent. In that sense, the headline is discordant with the content and spirit of Kabakov's anthology. Yet it seems there are other LBTQ Orthodox women who do not have the opportunity identify with a community women like themselves and experience intense isolation. It is from this context that the headline was written. Again, though, I completely agree with your point. If I had it to do over again, I would have would make a different headline choice.

On the contrary, I believe the anthology attests to the many different voices in which observant or Orthodox LBTQ women speak about their experiences, insights, and challenges as members (or ex-members) of the Orthodox Jewish world. Their doing so has already shaped that world and will continue to do so.
