Event description

Women wrote some of the most fascinating works of modern Yiddish literature, but Yiddish women writers rarely received the recognition they deserved during their lifetimes. In recent years, Jewish feminists have been unearthing and translating Yiddish literature by women, bringing it to a new and eager audience. This class will explore Yiddish women writers and their work, as well as recent scholarship, translations, and other efforts to re-claim this usable past.

Sarah Biskowitz works at the Jewish Women's Archive. She previously completed the Year Program at Pardes and the bibliography fellowship at the Yiddish Book Center. She has written and spoken about Yiddish culture for various organizations.
