Yiddish Literature by Women: Discussion Seminar

19/11 kl. 18:00

Online

How did Jewish women writers reshape modernism – and how did modernism reshape them? In this online lecture, Allison Schachter explores pioneering Yiddish and Hebrew authors, transnational networks, and the politics of voice, gender, and form. Drawing on her acclaimed works From the Jewish Provinces: Selected Stories of Fradl Shtok and Women Writing Jewish Modernity, Schachter illuminates how women’s experiences of migration and diaspora transformed twentieth-century literary modernism.
