The Change of Garb -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index Pauline Wengeroff, the only nineteenth-century Russian Jewish woman to publish a memoir, sets out to illuminate the "cultural history of the Jews of Russia" in the period of Jewish "enlightenment," when traditional culture began to disintegrate and Jews became modern. Wengeroff, a gifted writer and astute social observer, paints a rich portrait of both traditional and modernizing Jewish societies in an extraordinary way, focusing on women and the family and offering a gendered account (and indictment) of assimilation. In Volume 1 of Memoirs of a Grandmother, Wengeroff depicts traditional Jewish society, including the religious culture of women, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I, who wished "his" Jews to be acculturated to modern Russian life.Stanford Studies in Jewish History and CJewsBelarusMinskBiographyJewsBelarusMinskSocial life and customsMinsk (Belarus)BiographyJewsJewsSocial life and customs.305.892/404786BWengeroff Pauline1833-1916.1630257Magnus Shulamit S.1950-1630258MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818957703321Memoirs of a grandmother3968447UNINA
