Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry, Volume 18
Jewish Women in Eastern Europe
Contributor Information - Reviews - Contents - Author Information - Publication Details
This is the first collection of essays devoted to the study of Jewish women's experiences in eastern Europe. It attempts to go beyond mere description of what women experienced and to explore how gender constructed distinct experiences and identities, seeking thereby to recover lost voices and place them into a broader analytical framework. It is an important first step in the rethinking of east European Jewish history with the aid of new insights gleaned from the research on gender.
