How can resistance produce substantial social changes without becoming detrimental to those resisting? Drawing on qualitative study of diverse social and business Jewish-ultraorthodox female entrepreneurs (JUFE) in Israel, we demonstrate how JUFE’s resistance turned productive by advancing different issues related to women’s status and rights, leading to greater gender equality in their community. In struggling against their community's patriarchal power, women's resistance acts resulted in multilevel gendered social changes related to embodiment, home equality, economic well-being and women’s rights. JUFE's resistance was intermingled with compliance, thus allowing them to engender change processes in an ultra-religious social environment while maintaining their community membership and belonging.

Our contributions is threefold: First, by uncovering resistance forms in social contexts subjected to authoritarian power regimes, we argue that religiosity serves as a resource for women not only in resisting gender power relations, but also in promoting broad, gendered social changes without becoming victimized as social outcasts. Second, we uncover the complex dynamics between diverse aspects of domination, the resistant acts invoked in response, the respective compliant practices intermingled with these acts and the perceived risks involved. Third, by demonstrating how JUFE's resistance led to significant, evolutionary modifications in different aspects of an extant social order, while reproducing the hegemonic power relations and social circumstances it aims to modify, we highlight that resistance may become productive because it is reproductive of the social order it seeks to change, not despite it.

抵抗如何在不损害抵抗者的情况下产生重大的社会变化？通过对以色列不同社会和商业犹太-超正统女企业家 (JUFE) 的定性研究，我们展示了 JUFE 如何通过推进与妇女地位和权利相关的不同问题，从而在社区中实现更大程度的性别平等，从而使抵制变得富有成效。在与社区的重男轻女作斗争的过程中，妇女的抵抗行为导致了与体现、家庭平等、经济福祉和妇女权利相关的多层次性别社会变革。JUFE 的抵制与顺从混合在一起，从而使他们能够在极端宗教的社会环境中引发变革过程，同时保持他们的社区成员资格和归属感。

我们的贡献有三方面：首先，通过揭示受威权政权统治的社会环境中的抵抗形式，我们认为宗教信仰不仅可以作为女性抵抗性别权力关系的资源，还可以促进广泛的、性别化的社会变革而不会成为受害者。作为社会弃儿。其次，我们揭示了统治的不同方面之间的复杂动态，作为回应而引发的抵制行为，与这些行为混合的相应合规做法以及所涉及的感知风险。第三，通过展示 JUFE 的抵抗如何在现存社会秩序的不同方面导致显着的、进化的改变，同时再现其旨在改变的霸权关系和社会环境，
