About the book

"The conventional history of Jewish education in the United States focuses on the contributions of Samson Benderly and his male disciples. This volume tells a different story - the story of the women who either influenced or were influenced by Benderly or his closest friend, Mordecai Kaplan. In ten profiles, the contributors illuminate the impact of these often unheralded women who introduced American Jews to Hebraism and Zionism and laid the foundation for contemporary Jewish experiential education. Taken together, these ten portraits highlight the important and hitherto unexamined contribution of women to the development of American Jewish education." --Book Jacket.
