{"product_id":"kadya-molodowsky-9781680530568","title":"Kadya Molodowsky","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on detailed archival research in three countries, Zelda Kahan Newman tells the story of Kadya Molodowsky, the most prolific woman writer of Yiddish. A feminist before feminism was a movement, Molodowsky wrote poems that still circulate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMolodowsky was caught up in nearly all the cataclysms of twentieth century Jewry: the chaos of World War I, an inter-war pogrom, a narrow escape from Nazi Europe, migration to the US, and a failed attempt at life in the young state of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her biography, Kahan Newman reveals hitherto unknown facts about Molodosky’s relationship with her husband and father, as well as the importance of a woman-friend and Molodowsky’s feminine persona. The book discusses Molodowsky’s known and not-so-well-known poems, plays, novella and novel, as well as their historical and social context. Finally, the reader gets to see the irony of this writer’s end of life: hailed in the country that would abandon her language, and ignored in the country she valued dearly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zelda Kahan Newman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48277952987387,"sku":"9781680530568","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/kadya-molodowsky-9781680530568","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
