The short stories, excerpts from novels and memoirs, and several personal essays, were written at points in these women’s lives when they were looking out to and at the world around them. They were facing a traditional world confronting moder- nity: family life during a tumultuous period when parental authority was chal- lenged by political and social movements; sexual awakening during a profound revolutionary period in Europe; longings for independence, education, and cre- ative, artistic expression; the conflicted entry of Yiddish-speaking women into the modern world, beyond the restrictions of traditional Jewish life; the Holocaust and “These are vibrant women, and its aftermath, and adjustment after immigration. their writings should not be read To date, the major anthologies of Yiddish prose in translation have con- only as something from the past, centrated on popular male writers and excluded not only fiction by women but something important to our but their memoirs and other prose writing as well.
