Shaking Eve's Tree

Shaking Eves Tree is an anthology of short stories by contemporary Jewish women writers, many on mother-daughter relationships. The seventeen stories echo a major concern in the larger sphere of Jewish womens fiction: they deal with healing and new ways to form relationships within the family. Niedermans introduction addresses the development of Jewish womens fiction in the US and explores the reasons for self-censorship of the Jewish female experience. Shaking Eves Tree is a wonderful collection of stories that men as well as women will enjoy, ponder, and read again.
