Description
The Jewish Woman in America, "not an exhaustive, definitive history of all Jewish women in America," but "a schematic approach to certain problems as we've defined them," suffers, as this description by the authors suggests, from methodological imprecision. Arranged chronologically, the book devotes individual chapters to the German Jewish woman in America; to the East European Jewish woman in the old country, in America, and in the labor movement; to the differences between uptown and down-town women; and then, in an unexplained shift of focus, to the changing image of the Jewish woman in American Jewish literature over the past forty years and today. - from Amzon
