Female, Jewish, and educated
the lives of Central European university women
by Harriet Pass Freidenreich
"Female, Jewish, and Educated presents a collective biography of Jewish women who attended universities in Germany or Austria before the Nazi era. To what extent could middle-class Jewish women in the early decades of the twentieth century combine family and careers? What impact did antisemitism and gender discrimination have in shaping their personal and professional choices?
Harriet Freidenreich analyzes the lives of 460 Central European Jewish university women, focusing on their family backgrounds, university experiences, professional careers, and decisions about marriage and children. She evaluates the role of discrimination and antisemitism in shaping the careers of academics, physicians, educators, social scientists, and lawyers in the four decades preceding World War II and assesses the effects of Nazism, the Holocaust, and emigration on their lives.
The life stories of the women profiled reveal the courage, character, and resourcefulness with which they confronted challenges still faced by women today."--BOOK JACKET.
