Jewish Women In Your Life
Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia: Edited by Paula Hyman and Dalia Ofer, this electronic encyclopedia, available only on CD-ROM, covers Jewish women's experiences to encompass three millennia and Jewish women worldwide.
Oral History: By using oral history to record Jewish women's stories, we are documenting a vital part of our collective past. JWA's oral history resources provide tools for individuals and groups to conduct interviews with the important Jewish women in their own lives.
In Our Own Voices: JWA's comprehensive oral history guide, for use by individuals and groups
20 Questions to Ask the Important Women in Your Life: a handy set of 20 innovative questions for eliciting women's stories for use in your family, classroom, or community program
JWA’s "We Remember" pays tribute to the lives and careers of a few of the recently deceased American Jewish women who have made a difference to our community and our world.
Every issue of Re://collections featured a reflective memoir about a woman whose accomplishments may not be widely recognized or conventionally honored, but who has lived a life worth knowing and remembering. These reflections are archived at jwa.org/discover/recollections.
