Descripción: Thirty-six mini biographies of groundbreaking, outspoken, odds-defying Jewish women explore their fascinating lives, as well as the ways in which they were shaped by their heritage.Probing the lives of historic icons like Anne Frank and Emma Goldman to contemporary heroines such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Janet Yellen the book also provides an overview of modern Jewish history. Subjects ranging from Anna Freud, the founder of psychoanalytic child psychology to fashion mogul Diane von Furstenberg to comedian Sarah Silverman offer a fascinating window into the ways Jewish women have approached their fields and embraced their identities. The captivating stories of luminaries from the worlds of politics, literature, activism, the arts, business, science, and more show how these women—in many cases—overcame the obstacles of being both Jewish and female to make their unique mark, and how being Jewish impacted their journeys.Review"The well-researched and tidily written biographies are sure to keep readers turning pages, and then, everyone can play Jewish Geography and marvel at how these brilliant women are interconnected."—The Sydney Taylor Shmooze"Writing with an assured knowledge of her subjects (who are all European or American) and the belief that 'social justice is coded into our DNA,' Merberg profiles 36 historical and contemporary women of Judaic descent who fought for a better world and defied the odds....Inspiring and informative, showing impressive scope."—Kirkus ReviewsAbout the AuthorJulie Merberg is the author of many bestselling children's books including My First Book of Famous Jews, It's a Mitzvah, NO!
