דער קערפער פֿון השם"In the 1970s, in the wake of an emerging #secondwave #feminism, #women’s #magazines were expanding rapidly with a unique style. Their focus, however, tended to exclude #minorities. #Jewish women were seen as privileged “others”, not facing the same constraints as their #gentile peers. That’s why the #Winnipeg-born #SusanWeidmanSchneider founded #Lilith, a Jewish #feminist magazine, out of #NewYorkCity in 1976.
Lilith was radical in many ways, tackling taboo subjects like #abortion and #gayrights from a female Jewish perspective. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lilith has persevered as a community of #literary, engaged and often mature #Jewishwomen, hosting salons and creating a space for Jewish women to express themselves freely. To reflect on its impact, #WeidmanSchneider joins #PhoebeMaltzBovy on this week’s episode of #TheJewishAngle."
