“This book is a treasure, filled with stories of remarkable Jewish women. Some of the names will sound familiar, many are not; all deserve more attention for their courage and determination. It‘s great reading for girls—and boys—eager for role models--and the rest of the family too!”
—ANN F. LEWIS, FORMER WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
“A great read for all generations…from teens to grandparents. From the biblical prophetess Miriam to astronaut Judith Resnick, Moment Magazine Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein brings these women to life, showing why Justice Ginsburg chose them as her leading Jewish role models.”
—FRANCES WEINMAN SCHWARTZ, AUTHOR OF “PASSAGE TO PESACH: PREPARING FOR PASSOVER THROUGH TEXT AND TRADITION”
”There couldn't be a better book of role models for young women than this slim volume. You will recognize some of them, but many will surprise you. Hidden in the shadows of history, these women, against all odds, became successful artists, musicians, poets, healers, activists, warriors, mathematicians, and entrepreneurs. Read this book yourself — then make sure you share it with your daughters and granddaughters.”
