Arguing with the Storm- Stories by Yiddish Women Writers

Arguing with the Storm began as a communal project of the Winnipeg Women’s Yiddish Reading Circle, a group of seniors whose interest in women’s writing in Yiddish was piqued by the materials they found at the Winnipeg Jewish Public Library. The group translated, discussed, and selected these stories and narratives, many by women whose writing was not previously available in English. The result is a collection that embraces the wit, satire, and compassion of yiddishkayt, as well as its tragedy. Editor Rhea Tregebov will read from and discuss this anthology.
