America and I: Short Stories by American Jewish Women Writers Reviews

  • Vanessa Ehrlich

    I loved this anthology and all of the Jewish women writers who I met through the book choices. It begins in the late 1890's and goes until the 1980's. I would love to see another anthology that covers Jewish women through 2021. Great for short story book groups!

  • Rachel

    Looking forward to discussing these stories with my short story discussion group!

  • Anya Bodïkova

    Some of the stories were really difficult to interpret due to unusual language used by the writers whose English language was not native, but it challenged me to read the whole book. And as a reward, some of the stories became my favorite, such as "The Opiate of the People" and "A letter to Harvey Milk" ..

  • Karista

    As a collection of stories from various authors there are enough writing styles to never get bord. The few stories that I read were very insightful into the life and experiences of Jewish-American immigrants and their children and I have reason to believe the other stories would be just as good.
