Cultural Writing. Jewish Studies. This book brings together essays that probe the articulation of Jewishness and femaleness. Showing how female Jewish identity is constructed in Canadian prose works that span the years 1956 to 2004, the essays speak to the writers' preoccupation with cultural identity and create a portrait of how it feels to be Jewish, Canadian, and female. Each contributor seeks to investigate her identity as a Canadian, a Jew, and a woman, as well as to critique prevailing notions of Canada as a country that embraces people of all faiths, of Judaism as open to female participation, and of Jewish women as submissive within marriage. As the first book to focus exclusively on writing by Jewish Canadian women, this collection aims to deepen and broaden the Canadian literary canvas.
