Haberman Distinguished Speaker Series Location: JCC of Northern Virginia Date: February 6, 2019 This lecture was also given on March 11, 2019 at Kol Shalom in Rockville, Maryland.  In her groundbreaking new history, Pamela Nadell asks what does it mean to be a Jewish woman in America? Weaving together stories from the colonial era\u2019s matriarch, Grace Nathan, and her great-granddaughter, poet Emma Lazarus, to union organizer, Bessie Hillman, and the eminent Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Professor Nadell shows two threads binding the nation\u2019s Jewish women: a strong sense of self and a resolute commitment to making the world a better place. Informed by the shared values of America\u2019s founding and Jewish identity, America\u2019s Jewish women \u2013 the well-known and the scores of activists, workers, wives, and mothers whose names linger on among their communities and families \u2013 left deep footprints in the history of the nation they called home.
