As Jewish Women: In America—On the Jewish Street

How did these publications view assimilation, and what were their approaches toward two of the most popular ideologies on the Jewish Street—Zionism in its many varieties, and Socialism? What did these publishers, writers, and editors have to say about a way forward for coming generations through the medium of some form of Jewish education, be it religious, political, or cultural? How would parents raise their children to not assimilate? These questions animated the Jewish Street and the publications in its newsstands. Writers discussed these issues on the front page, the editorial page, and, of course, the women’s page. Education for Jewish youth—in America designated the duty of women in the home—likewise was a common theme in sections of a publication aimed at women.
