Rabbi Wexler takes us on a fictional journey into the Biblical story of five brave and determined women who advanced Judaism and ultimately the world. The Daughters Victorious tells the amazing Biblical story of five sisters whom, over 3,000 years ago, fought for their inheritance and dignity. They sacrificed their individual yearnings to advance the causes of property rights and religious education for women at the time when such privileges and rights were non-existent. The laws giving them their inheritance were incorporated into the laws of the Torah. This story shows that Judaism wa

In Mapping Fate, Alice Wexler tells the story of a family at risk for a hereditary, incurable, fatal disorder: Huntington’s disease, once called Huntington’s chorea. That her mother died of the disease, that her own chance of inheriting it was fifty-fifty, that her sister and father directed much of the extraordinary biomedical research to find the gene and a cure, make Wexler’s story both astonishingly intimate and scientifically compelling. Alice Wexler’s graceful and eloquent account goes beyond the specifics of Huntington’s disease to explore the dynamics of f

Laura Wexler presents an incisive analysis of how the first American female photojournalists contributed to a "domestic vision" that reinforced the imperialism and racism of turn-of-the-century America. These women photographers, white and middle class, constructed images of war disguised as peace through a mechanism Wexler calls the "averted eye," which had its origins in the private domain of family photography. Wexler examines the work of Frances Benjamin Johnston, Gertrude Käsebier, Alice Austen, the Gerhard sisters, and Jessie Tarbox Beals. The book includes more than 150 photographs ta

A unique blend of actual 18th-century letters and sensitively imagined fiction, A More Obedient Wife tells the story of two women in the 1790s-each in a troubled marriage to a Supreme Court Justice-swept up in the little-known but fascinating early history of our nation’s premier judicial institution. Hannah Iredell, shy and insecure-and saddled with an embarrassing alcoholic mother-in-law-is plagued by doubts about her husband’s fidelity. Hannah Wilson, flirtatious and only nineteen, marries a distinguished and extravagantly wealthy man thirty years her senior, but is soon dragged

Claiming that Yiddish was created when Judaized Sorbs first relaxified their language to High German between the 9th and 12th centuries, this book asserts that by the 15th century, the descendants of the Judaized Khazars also relaxified their Kiev-Polessian (northern Ukrainian and southern Belarusian) speech to Yiddish and German. Yiddish thus uses a mixed West-East Slavic grammar and suggests that converted Khazars were a major componnet in the Ashkenazic ethnogenesis.
