"A Jewish Feminine Mystique? succeeds admirably in expanding
scholarship on postwar American Jewish women."
*Journal of American History*
"Although no one volume can fill the 'gaping hole' in scholarship
about Jewish women in the postwar years, the editors and
contributors have made a valiant first effort. Recommended."
*Choice*
"A fascinating anthology. For readers who relish the joy of reading
Jewish and American history, this book will be a delight."
*Jewish Book World*
"A Jewish Feminine Mystique? succeeds in describing the complex
roles of Jewish women in the time of Betty Friedan and the rise of
the second wave feminist movement in America. This book provides a
rich chorus of voices, further proving that whatever the lives of
Jewish women in the American postwar period were, they weren't
simple."
*Lilith*
"The essays in this fine collection help to revise our
understanding of Jewish women and the feminine mystique. Jewish
women were affected by the pervasive folk myths of the 1950s, but,
like Friedan, they were hardly defined by the feminine mystique;
they were too busy starting revolutions."
*Hadassah Magazine*
"This engaging anthology presents a range of historical cases where
the lives of Jewish women in postwar America diverged from the norm
of the 1950s suburban housewife."
*Journal of American Ethnic History*
"A marvelously fresh look at Jewish women in the post war period.
This volume of collected essays deeply enriches our understanding
of the varied experiences of Jewish women in the 1950s. Reading
this volume will forever transform the way the reader thinks about
Jewish women, female power, and the pervasive influence of
gender."
