Women Writing Jewish Modernity, 1919–1939 is a groundbreaking work of scholarship that explores how early-twentieth-century Yiddish and Hebrew women writers used prose fiction to challenge canonicity and to offer new ways of writing Yiddish and Hebrew literature and shaping Jewish cultural modernity. Allison Schachter argues that earlytwentieth-century women writers were uniquely positioned to develop new ways of reading and writing, as they situated the transformation of gender hierarchies at the heart of Jewish literary modernity. Analyzing the disruptive power of prose, Schachter’s book creates a foundation for new works of Yiddish scholarship about women’s cultural production.
