![]() ![]() Nadell does it in informative and succinct style, and the result is a readable, valuable text. It is easy to kvetch, but Nadell has taken on a big job in covering such a multidimensional, important subject. ![]() The broadness of the topic means there are some omissions: the writers Grace Paley and Edna Ferber are mentioned but not, say, Tillie Olsen or Cynthia Ozick some prominent Jewish women are covered too cursorily (two 20th-century political firebrands, Emma Goldman and Bella Abzug, are accorded all of three sentences each) and American Sephardic women and Jewish feminist theology are barely dealt with. She also turns out strong mini-profiles of several dozen prominent figures and unearths the little-discussed oppressive side of American Jewish women’s history, including sexual harassment of sweatshop workers and economic hardships that forced some Jewish women into prostitution. For example, she notes that the intermarriage rate among American Jews rose from 3% in 1930 to 17% in 1970, before soaring to around 50% in the 1995–2013 period. Her particular strengths are social, labor, and cultural history. Informed by the shared values of America’s founding and Jewish identity, America’s Jewish womenthe well-known and the scores of activists, workers, wives, and mothers whose names linger on among their communities and familiesleft deep footprints in the history of the nation they call home. Nadell ( Women Who Would be Rabbis), the director of the Jewish studies program at American University, gives a brisk overview of “American Jewesses,” with a heavy focus on the 20th century. ![]()
