Join author Elizabeth Edelglass as she discusses a few selections, including her own, from Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women from Lilith Magazine.
"These fictions offer variegated cultures, contexts and points of view: Persian Jews; a Biblical matriarch; an Ethiopian mother in modern Israel; suburban American teens; Eastern European academics" among others as they explore "deepening connections, political turmoil... struggles with body and soul, with finding community, with decoding family life" and other topics in Jewish women's lives. - Lilith Magazine
