As American Women: In America—on Main Street

This chapter deals with the attitudes of the various publications toward women in the broader American framework: not as Jews, but as women, going from institutions to issues. Specifically, it contrasts and compares attitudes toward women working and getting an education. This chapter concludes with a comparison of the publications’ attitudes toward the struggle for a fundamental attribute of citizenship: the right to vote. The only one of the five journals which did not consider the struggle for women’s suffrage was Froyen zhurnal; it began publication after that battle had been won.
