{"product_id":"women-men-and-books-gennady-estraikh-9781781885772","title":"Women, Men and Books: Issues of Gender in Yiddish Discourse","description":"\u003cp\u003eYiddish literature is commonly perceived as a gendered cultural space, as neatly summarised by the line 'Story books for women, holy books for men' in the opening scene of the popular movie \u003cem\u003eYentl\u003c\/em\u003e. Yet it is well known that the traditional dichotomy oversimplifies the issue of gender in Yiddish literature. This volume seeks to give a more multi-faceted picture of the topic, investigating the representation of gender in Yiddish literary works, the gendered self-representation of Yiddish authors, and the (implied) expectations with respect to the gender of the Yiddish target readership. It also considers debates and reflections about gender in Yiddish literary criticism and journalism, exploring the participation and positioning of Yiddish cultural critics in this discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gennady Estraikh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178188577X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781885772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.50d","brand":"Gennady Estraikh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941695291647,"sku":"9781781885772","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_797197c9-f080-4f59-9a06-9386b06a8d89.jpg?v=1681454428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-men-and-books-gennady-estraikh-9781781885772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
