Offering the first comprehensive historiographic exploration of women’s roles in the Zionist movement worldwide, this geographically wide-ranging study explores the ideologies, goals, strategies, activities, accomplishments and failures of women’s organizations and individuals in Europe, the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Covering the period from the inception of Zionism to the founding of Israel, this volume sheds light on how women’s unique mode of Zionism differed from that of men and how it influenced Jewish communities worldwide, in Mandatory Palestine and the Zionist movement as a whole.
Mira Katzburg-Yungman is a scholar of American Jewish history at the Department of History, the Open University of Israel (retired). Specializing in the history of Zionist women’s organizations in America and worldwide, she is a Spiegel Fellow at the Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University. Her notable publications include Hadassah: American Women Zionists and the Rebirth of Israel (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, 2012; National Jewish Book Award finalist), and the three-volume bilingual anthology Haḥavaya Hayehudit Ha-ameriḳanit [The American Jewish Experience] (2007).
