Women of Valor: Stories of Great Jewish Women Who Helped Shape the Twentieth Century
their price is above rubies Eight lesser-known Jewish women whose work has had great impact get their due in Women of Valor: Stories of Great Jewish Women Who Helped Shape the Twentieth Century by Sheila Segal. From Rose Schneiderman, co-founder of the first union of female workers, to Ida Kaminska, who helped to revive Yiddish theater, the women Segal profiles are inspiring figures for a YA audience. The 65 black-and-white photographs show the women at work.  Approximately 80 Jewish women from antiquity to the present are the subjects of Remarkable Jewish Women: Rabbis, Rebels and Other Women from Biblical Times to the Present by Emily Taitz and Sondra Henry. Brief sections profile each subject and also describe the historical and social contexts surrounding their achievements. Black-and-white photos and illustrations, unfortunately, are often grainy.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
