Not only fashion and politics, but scholarship, gender, religion, discrimination - every hot button issue is examined in the story of the triumphant rise of Hadassah. A fascinating and important book. -Rabbi David Wolpe. Sinai Temple, Los Angeles Hadassah, the Women's Zionist organization of America, has wielded power in the halls of American political institutions and in the minds of many Jews in the United States. This book enriches our understanding of both modern Jewish history and American women's history. Hadassah is important not only for what it tells us about women but also for what it reveals about Jewish history and politics, about Zionism, and about America. In the post-World War II era, Hadassah played a significant role in shaping Jewish women's political action and identity. Widely known for its work in Israel, Hadassah played a central role in shaping the way generations of American Jewish women thought about themselves and about their involvement on the American political scene.
