Review
"A rich source of short stories and excerpts from novels, this anthology charts the changing portrayals of Jewish women by Jewish writers from the middle of the 19th century to the present . . . Insightful introduction, brief but helpful biocritical descriptions of each author, glossary of Yiddish and Hebrew terms, supplementary reading list. Highly recommended for readers at all levels." --Choice
"The selections themselves, even apart from Fishman's putting them into context, make engaging reading as pure literature or social documents."--Kliatt Paperback Books Guide
