The American Jewess (1895-1899) described itself as "the only magazine in the world devoted to the interests of Jewish women." It was the first English-language periodical targeted to American Jewish women, covering an evocative range of topics that ranged from women's place in the synagogue to whether women should ride bicycles.
History
Founded and edited by Rosa Sonnenschein (1847-1932), it offered the first sustained critique, by Jewish women, of gender inequities in Jewish worship and communal life.
Online
Assembled and digitized for online access by the Jewish Women's Archive, 8 volumes of The American Jewess were assembled from the collections of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Klau Library, Brandeis University Libraries, the Library of Congress, and the Jewish Women's Archive.
