Jewish Mothers - A Marvelous Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"Jewish Mothers" is terrific. The diversity of subjects, storytelling images, and biographical essays are excellent windows into the variety and complexity of American Jewish Womanhood. The opening essay about Joyce Antler highlights the importance of Jewish family attitudes in promoting the success and strength of so many of these subjects. The photos which accompany each essay illuminate the experiences and personalities of each woman. My favorite is the joyful exhuberant joyfulness of Rachel Eitches as she nurses her twin babies. Great shot. Readers interested in women's issues, Jewish life and culture, and intergenerational relationships will find this book stimulating. Makes a great bat mitzvah gift.... Alice Gross

This collaborative effort of words and stunning compilation of photography is phenomenal. The women featured are inspiring and -- best of all --very "real!" This book is truly a must-have and would be a great gift for any woman ... for Mother's Day or any day.
