This book provides a timely new transnational lineage of Jewish feminist revolutionary legacies. Using extensive research, deep thinking, and a bold methodology, Marla Brettschneider tousles with a host of anti-colonial, feminist, anti-racist, and queer troublemakers-Jamaica Kincaid, Golda Meir, Hannah Arendt, Frida Kahlo, Gertrude Stein, and Emma Goldman. Brettschneider brings together these feisty women's lives, work, politics, thinking, and art to wrestle with big questions: How can we make our lives, individually and collectively, in our diversity as Jews and in grounded solidarity with others? How do these women bring out otherwise unidentified, unnamed, and underexamined issues in Jewish studies, feminism, politics, and a range of critical theories? Revolutionary Legacies invites Jews, feminists, anti-racists, and all manner of justice seekers to think, and create common cause, with these rabblerousers.

Industry Reviews

"I love this book! Readable, instructional, insightful, and smart, Revolutionary Legacies brings together a variety of politically active twentieth-century Jewish women who are often taught in Jewish studies and beyond, but who are seldom brought together using Jewish binding. Brettschneider binds them in novel, previously unimagined ways, disrupting disciplinary divisions and complicating Western understandings of Judaism." - Stephen J. Stern, coauthor of Reclaiming the Wicked Son: Finding Judaism in Secular Jewish Philosophers

"Marla Brettschneider has brought her considerable talents as a theorist to this book-reconceptualizing the question of Jewish identity, feminist identity, and political thought, while offering new ways of engaging with the work and legacies of these women. There are no other books of this kind." - Jenny Caplan, author of Funny, You Don't Look Funny: Judaism and Humor from the Silent Generation to Millennials
