About this title

Review:

"[T]he editors have succeeded admirably ...this project succeeds brilliantly "Jewish Women in America will be valuable for undergraduates as well as research specialists for some time to come."-"American Jewish History "The encyclopedia in toto demonstrates the great diversity in American Jewish women's experiences and contributions...."-"American Jewish History "An extraordinary work, a labor of love, which initiates a new view of the history of Jewish women in the United States and, indeed, transforms our understanding of Jewish history and US women's history in general..... We are deeply indebted to Professors Hyman and Moore, and to the twenty scholars on their editorial board for their labors...... Reading this book has been an extraordinary experience and a great joy.."-"Judaism, Spring 1999 "[O]ne of the best reference resources to appear in recent years in women's studies. Extremely well-written, organized, and displayed, these volumes should certainly be in every collection that supports women's studies research on an academic level and in large public libraries as well. The editors and authors are to be commended for the high quality of writing and research."-"Feminist Collections, winter 98 ..." a unique work..... a very interesting encyclopedia that fills an obvious gap in reference collections. Academic libraries, Judaica and women's studies collections and large public libraries where there is interest will want "Jewish Women in America on their shelves."-"Booklist, January 1998
