A Woman Is Responsible for Everything: Jewish Women in Early Modern Europe (with Prof. Elisheva Carlebach & Prof. Debra Kaplan)
Meet Debra Kaplan, a historian of German Jewry, and Elisheva Carlebach, a Columbia professor of Jewish history. They trace how records, print, and objects reveal women's lives in 1500–1800 Europe. Short stories and microbiographies illuminate synagogue attendance, economic work, communal roles like mikveh and charity, and the archives that let scholars recover ordinary and remarkable women.
