"Such a world of pleasure": adolescent Jewish girls and American youth culture.Jewish Girls Coming of Age in America, 1860-1920 draws on a wealth of archival material, much of which has never been published-or even read-to illuminate the ways in which Jewish girls' adolescent experiences reflected larger issues relating to gender, ethnicity, religion, and education. Klapper explores the dual roles girls played as agents of acculturation and guardians of tradition. Their search for an identity as American girls that would not require the abandonment of Jewish tradition and culture mirrored the struggle of their families and communities for integration into American societyJewish girlsUnited StatesSocial conditions19th centuryJewish girlsUnited StatesSocial conditions20th centuryJewish girlsEducationUnited StatesJewish girlsUnited StatesSocial life and customs19th centuryJewish girlsUnited StatesSocial life and customs20th centuryJewish religious education of girlsUnited StatesJewish teenagersUnited StatesSocial life and customs19th centuryJewish teenagersUnited StatesSocial life and customs20th centuryJewish girlsSocial conditionsJewish girlsSocial conditionsJewish girlsEducationJewish girlsSocial life and customsJewish girlsSocial life and customsJewish religious education of girlsJewish teenagersSocial life and customsJewish teenagersSocial life and customs305.242/2/089924073Klapper Melissa R1709576MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813207203321Jewish girls coming of age in America, 1860-19204099415UNINA
