Description
"From their debut in Berlin in the 1780s to their emergence in 1930s California, Jewish women's salons served as welcoming havens where all classes and creeds could openly debate art, music, literature, and politics. This book is the first to explore the history of these salons where remarkable women of intellect resolved that neither gender nor religion would impede their ability to bring about social change." "Authors Emily D. Bilski and Emily Braun examine the lives of more than a dozen show more Jewish salonieres, charting the evolution of the salon over time and among cultures in cities including Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, New York, and Milan."--Jacket. show lessTags
