The editors have gathered a treasure trove of excerpts (some translated into English for the first time) from a variety of genres-novels, short stories, letters, plays, poetry, autobiographies-to showcase the work of both well-known and less familiar French Jewish women writers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The collection includes a biographical note on each author, as well as a concise introduction on the history of the Jews, and Jewish women, in France.
