Description
A groundbreaking Jewish feminist short story collection. A Short story collections focusing on Jewish writers haveâ?"no surpriseâ?"typically given women authors short shrift. This new volume represents the best Jewish feminist fiction published in Lilith magazine, and does what no other collection has done before in its geographic scope, its inclusion of twenty-first-century stories, and its Jewish feminist focus. This collection showcases a wide range of stories offering variegated cultures and contexts and points of view: Persian Jews; a Biblical matriarch; an Ethiopian mother in modern Israel; suburban American teens; Eastern European academics; a sexual questioner; a Jew by choice; a new immigrant escaping her Lower East Side sweatshop; a Black Jewish marcher for justice; in Vichy France, a toddlerâ?Ts mother hiding out; and more. Organized by theme, the stories in this book emphasize a breadth of content, and our hope is that in reading youâ?Tll appreciate the liveliness of the burgeoning self-awareness brought to life in each tale, and the occasional funny, call-your-friend-and-tell-her-about-it moment. Skip around, encounter an author whose other work you may know, be enticed by a title, or an opening line. We hope youâ?Tll find both pleasure and enlightenmentâ?"and sometimes revelationâ?"within these pages. A
