Book Review

American Jewish Women and the Zionist Enterprise. Ed. by Shulamit Reinharz and Mark A. Raider. (Lebanon: Brandeis University Press, 2005. lx, 393 pp. Cloth, $60.00, ISBN 1-58465-438-4. Paper, $26.00, ISBN 1-58465-439-2.)

Shulamit Reinharz and Mark A. Raider have brought together two kinds of documents in this edited volume on the contribution of Jewish women to Zionism, in addition to their own introductory essays. The bulk of the book consists of articles, most, although not all, written by scholars. These articles include a number that examine American Jewish women's organizations, both Zionist and non-Zionist, and their impact on the cause. Hadassah understandably receives the greatest coverage here. After all, it became not only the largest women's Zionist organization, but the largest Zionist organization in the United States, outstripping its male counterpart in the size of both its membership rolls and its treasury. Essays on the smaller Pioneer Women of the Labor Zionist movement and the Orthodox Mizrachi Women broaden the organizational landscape and make this book more than a volume on Hadassah.
