dc.description.abstractThis article focuses on Yiddish literature in the United States written by women. The author notes that, as is the case with Jewish women in the United States more broadly, Yiddish literature by women has typically been characterized in terms of "mythic representations." Although, she notes that despite the fact that history of women's writing in Yiddish has not yet been written, when women's writing is examined, the breadth and variety of this writing departs from the stereotype of Jewish women as conservative forces holding religion and family together, but can more "accurately understood as modernists and traditionalists, romantics and realists, prose writers and poets."
