From mandolin clubs to musical theatre, Jewish women found joy, bonds, and purpose through musical self-expression in the early twentieth century. JHC Historian in Residence Madeline DeDe-Panken explores how music was a means for women to navigate changing societal expectations, including pursuing education and careers. Music also provided women with roles and opportunities as community maestros, fostering Jewish social life while cultivating personal aspirations. Celebrating the lives and talents of unsung Jewish women, this webinar gives greater context for some favorite materials in the JHC’s collections and unearths new stories from the archive.
