'nice' Jewish Girls

• About the book

Probing the lives of historic icons like Anne Frank to contemporary heroines such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 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 photographer Diane Arbus offer a fascinating window into the ways Jewish women from the worlds of politics, literature, activism, the arts, business, science, and more have approached their fields and embraced their identities.
