PEOPLE OF THE BOOK Pamela Nadell asks what does it mean to be a Jewish woman in America?

Weaving together stories from the colonial era’s matriarch Grace Nathan
and her great-granddaughter poet Emma Lazarus to union organizer Bes-

binding the nation’s Jewish women: a strong sense of self and a resolute
commitment to making the world a better place. America’s Jewish women
have left deep footprints in the history of the nation they call home.
