Shelby Shapiro focuses on two women’s magazines and the women’s pages in three daily newspapers, from 1913, when the first Yiddish women’s magazine appeared, until 1925, when the Immigration Act of 1924 took effect. Shapiro demonstrates how newspaper editors and publishers sought to shape identity in line with their own religious or political tendencies in this new environment, where immigrants faced a broad horizon of possibilities for shaping or reshaping their identities in the face of new possibilities and constraints. External constraints included the economic situation of the immigrants, varying degrees of antisemitism within American society, while internal constraints included the variable power of traditions and beliefs brought with them from the Old World. Words to the Wives studies how publications sought to shape the direction of Eastern European Jewish immigrant women's acculturation. Shelby Shapiro serves as General Editor of The Independent Scholar and the journal of the National Coalition of Independent Scholars. His interest areas include the Yiddish press, American history, Anarchism, the labor movement, print culture, jazz and blues. He served as Associate Editor of Connecticut State Records from 2012-2021. 0aLiteraturexHistory and criticism. 0aBooksxHistory. 0aPrinting. 0aPublishers and publishing. 0aJournalism. 0aJudaism and culture.14aLiterary History.24aHistory of the Book.24aPrinting and Publishing.24aNews Journalism.24aJewish Cultural Studies.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303149940108iPrinted edition:z978303149942508iPrinted edition:z9783031499432 0aNew Directions in Book History,x2634-612540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-49941-8
