Publisher Notes
This encyclopedia provides the first standard reference work on the lives, history and activities of Jewish women in the United States. Covering a period which extends from the arrival of the first Jewish women in North America in 1654 to the present, this two-volume set presents the most comprehensive and detailed portrait of American Jewish women ever published, and brings together for the first time the wealth of recent scholarship on this subject.
Includes:
* Biographical entries on over 800 individual women.
* 128 topical articles on organizations such as Hadassah, the National Council of Jewish Women, Mizrachi, and the Ladies' Garment Workers' Union.
* Major essays on Jewish women's participation in the movement for women's suffrage, social reform, civil rights, and the recent women's movement.
* The activities of Jewish women in politics, business, education, the arts, and religion.
* A readable, inviting format with over 500 large photographs.
