Written in an engaging style, the book demonstrates that no history of the suffrage, birth control, or peace movements in the United States is complete without analyzing the impact of Jewish women's presence. The volume is based on years of extensive primary-source research in more than a dozen archives and hundreds of published primary sources, many of which have previously never been seen. Voluminous personal papers and institutional records paint a vivid picture of a world in which both middle-class and working-class American Jewish women were consistently and publicly engaged in all the major issues of their day and worked closely with their non-Jewish counterparts on behalf of activist causes"--Page 4 of cover. 505 0 "We Jewish women should be especially interested in our new citizenship" : American Jewish women and the Suffrage Movement -- "I started to get smart, not to have so many children" : The American Jewish community and the early years of the birth control movement -- "We united with our sisters of other faiths in petitioning for peace" : Jewish women, peace activism, and acculturation -- "They have been the pioneers" : American Jewish women and the mainstreaming of birth control -- "Where the yellow star is" : American Jewish women, the peace movement, and Jewish identity during the 1930s and World War II. 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Jewish women |xPolitical activity |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jewish women |zUnited States |xSocial conditions |y20th century. 650 0 Women |xPolitical activity |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Women |zUnited States |xSocial conditions |y20th century. 650 0 Women |xSuffrage |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Women and peace |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Women. |2homoit 650 7 Womyn. |2homoit 856 40 |3Electronic version(s) available. |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=2081595 |zHosted by ProQuest 852 0 |bstacks |hHQ1426 |i.K57 2014 852 |bebook
