The Quotable Jewish Woman

This book is the definitive collection of ideas, reflections, humor and wit by Jewish women. The voices of over 300 women are brought together?including women of the Bible, actors, poets, humorists, scientists and literary and political figures?whose ideas, activism, service, talent and labor have touched the world. These women, and many others, share insights on a variety of timeless and timely topics such as: age and aging; feminism and women's liberation; Jews and Judaism; and love and desire. From winners of Nobel Prizes and Oscars to lesser known but equally remarkable women from many countries and backgrounds, this inspirational gateway provides insight to the thoughts and lives of Jewish women, both contemporary and ancient.
