NEW ISSUE
Jewish Feminists and Our Fathers
Spring 2009.
(Volume 14, Number 1)

“We saw a clear connection between Bridges, a progressive feminist journal, and stories of fathers and daughters that have yet to be told. Our vision for the collection was to focus on relationships, in order to understand the legacies of our fathers, how feminist work has reshaped and reconceptualized these legacies, and how Jewish feminists are passing these legacies on to the next generation.”
