Through taped interviews, photographs and songs introducing each section, three Jewish women, in their 50s and 60s, describe their experiences of being immigrants or daughters of immigrants. These diverse and fascinating narratives, depicting the family and the social and working lives of these women, challenge popular stereotypes and offer alternative images of Jewish women.
Viewed as a whole, ‘Three Jewish Women’ illustrates the diversity in nationality, language, class and religious practices in the Jewish community and reflects the complexities of the notion of Jewish identity.
