In the Footsteps of Yiddish Women Writers: A Walking Tour
|
Walking Tour
Admission: $30 |
One of the most dynamic areas of Yiddish translations and research in recent years has been the recovery of women who wrote in Yiddish. In this Lower East Side walking tour led by Dr. Sonia Gollance, we will visit sites associated with celebrated and less-familiar women writers. We will also learn more about their Yiddish literary contributions and how they fit into the broader Yiddish literary community.
