Abstract The American Jewess (1895-1899) described itself as "the only magazine in the world devoted to the interests of Jewish women." It was the first English-language periodical targeted to American Jewish women, covering an evocative range of topics that ranged from women's place in the synagogue to whether women should ride bicycles.
Founded and edited by Rosa Sonneschein (1847-1932), it offered the first sustained critique, by Jewish women, of gender inequities in Jewish worship and communal life. Assembled and digitized for online access by the Jewish Women's Archive, this digital reproduction of the 8 volumes of The American Jewess was assembled from the collections of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Klau Library, Brandeis University Libraries, the Library of Congress, and the Jewish Women's Archive.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2010-03-17 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:70907
