However, Friedan never acknowledged that many American women refused to retreat from public life during these years. Now, \u003ci\u003eA Jewish Feminine Mystique?\u003c\/i\u003e examines how Jewish women sought opportunities and created images that defied the stereotypes and prescriptive ideology of the \"feminine mystique.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs workers with or without pay, social justice activists, community builders, entertainers, and businesswomen, most Jewish women championed responsibilities outside their homes. Jewishness played a role in shaping their choices, shattering Friedan's assumptions about how middle-class women lived in the postwar years. Focusing on ordinary Jewish women as well as prominent figures such as Judy Holliday, Jennie Grossinger, and Herman Wouk's fictional \u003ci\u003eMarjorie Morningstar\u003c\/i\u003e, leading scholars explore the wide canvas upon which American Jewish women made their mark after the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hasia Diner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081354792X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813547923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011","brand":"Hasia Diner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566894412031,"sku":"9780813547923","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5abecef-37f0-467c-95bd-64669dac41ae.jpg?v=1701374954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-jewish-feminine-mystique-hasia-diner-9780813547923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
