Jewish Women and Their Salons: The Power of Conversation
by Emily D. Biliski and Emily Braun
From their debut in Berlin in the 1780's to their emergence in 1930's California, Jewish women's salons served as welcoming havens where all classes and creeds could openly debate art, music, literature and politics. This fascinating book is the first to explore the history of these salons where remarkable women of intellect resolved that neither gender nor religion would impede their ability to bring about social change.
