In-16, broché, couverture papier coquille postérieure, 53 p. Edition originale et unique. Intéressant pamphlet littéraire, dans lequel Marco Saint-Hilaire qui signe comme "délégué de la Ligue de la protection des femmes pour la propagande en France et à l'étranger", se déclare féministe, socialiste et héritier de la Commune de Paris dont il défend les ambitions et les objectifs. Il réclame une "révolution dans la littérature" qui mettrait à bas les hypocrites et les faiseurs, témoigne de sa propre expérience comme journaliste engagé dans les principaux périodiques féministes et livre une violente charge contre la littérature de son temps, la mode des feuilletons qui asservissent, la littérature bourgeoise et les institutions littéraires qui écrasent toute ambition créative en particulier celle des prolétaires. Un passage est consacré à la défense de Louise Michel, d'autres à Clemenceau ou à Zola. Bon exemplaire.

Original Cloth. 8vo. XVI, 557 pages. 25 cm. First edition. The volume is composed mainly of entries arranged alphabetically by writer. Many of these women have an indisputable place in the literary canon, while others are relative newcomers to the field. Still others are being rediscovered after years of neglect. The profiles provide a biography, bibliography, and survey of criticism for each author. Each also provides an analysis of the writer's work by a scholar in Jewish American literature, women's studies, or a related field. An introductory essay defines the scope of Jewish American women's literature, while a special chapter is devoted to writers of autobiographies who document the experience of Jewish women in America. - Publishers description.

Original Hardback. 8vo. 350, 34 pages. 24 cm. First edition. In Hebrew, with 34 page English section. Conference proceedings of the First International Conference of Kolech, on 'Woman and her Judaism'. Kolech achieved its most impressive public presence in four international conferences, held in Jerusalem in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005. Attended by more than a thousand active participants, they received media attention in the general and religious press, as well as in the electronic media. At the first conference, lectures were given on the subject of Torah learning for women, pointing out the possibilities and inherent dangers, and presenting the question of how to relate to womens creative thought on Torah subjects and how it could be integrated with mens writings. Two years later, at the second conference, there was no repetition of questions of this nature. The first conference had convincingly demonstrated both the impressive halakhic knowledge of many members of the new organization, as well as the existence of firmly established contacts with several well-known rabbis of a liberal-religious mind-set. - Jewish Women's Archive, Kolekh, by Margalit Shilo.

First edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 6 pages; 23 cm. An event program. Includes list of officers, board of directors and dinner committee members, a menu, and lists of diners arranged both alphabetically and by table. The YWHA founded in New York City on February 6, 1902 was the first independent YWHA. Earlier organizations of similar focus and name had existed only as auxiliaries to Young Mens Hebrew Associations (YMHAs) , which had been founded as early as the 1850s. The new organization, founded at the home and under the leadership of Bella Unterberg, combined religious, social, and cultural recreational activities in a way that redefined the possibilities of Jewish communal life. Meant to serve the needs of young women, especially working girls, the New York YWHAs synthesis of social and religious aims distinguished it from the YMHA, which sought to bring Jewish men together within a secular Americanized setting (jwa.org 2017) .
