More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Hyman (modern Jewish history, Yale) and Moore (history, Vassar) have put together a primarily biographical encyclopedia of American Jewish women. Their book contains 800 entries on women from all fields who lived from 1654 (when the first Jewish woman arrived in America) to the present and 110 topical essays about various organizations and subjects ranging from education to politics to the arts. Each biographical entry includes both an essay and a bibliography. In addition, the book has an alphabetical listing of entries, a classified list of biographical entries by type (activists, lawyers, nurses, etc.), a helpful annotated bibliography of archival resources, and an in-depth index. While various books on the American Jewish woman are currently available (e.g., The Journey Home: Jewish Women and the American Century, LJ 4/1/97; Celebrating the Lives of Jewish Women, LJ 1/98), this one provides a good biographical and encyclopedic reference approach to the subject and is an excellent biographical source. Recommended for larger libraries as a complement to women's studies, Jewish history, biography, and American history collections.Mary F. Salony, West Virginia Northern Community Coll. Lib., Wheeling
Booknews
Sponsored by The American Jewish Historical Society (Waltham, MA), multidisciplinary specialists have fashioned this contribution to US as well as to Jewish and women's history. B&w photos supplement the encyclopedic text, featuring some 900 entries (the majority being biographies of individual women): from Lina Abarbanell, a 20th century operetta star and Broadway producer, to Miriam Shomer Zunser, pre- World War II journalist, playwright, and artist. Bella Abzug, pictured in her trademark hats, has of course died since her inclusion. The editors address the difficult issue of defining who is a Jew. Includes an annotated bibliography and guide to archival resources. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

    Tremendously rich in information

    I found this encyclopedia tremendously rich in information. It details the life of many fascinating Jewish women. I suggest a pocket- size selection of the encyclopedia might also make for a very good, and certainly more readily readable volume.
