From fiery social activists, such as Emma Goldman, to businesswomen, like Estee Lauder, Jewish women have made their mark on history. Whether born in the ghetto or into lives of privilege, they have overcome prejudice and persecution by the power of their intellect and courage. And what a difference they have made. In this inspiring volume, the histories of fifty Jewish women come vividly alive in text and pictures. From biblical times to the present, the personal odysseys of dozens of Jewish women bear witness to their enormous accomplishments and are presented for all to see.
