The Vogue of Jewish Self-Hatred in Post-World War II America
This article asks how and why the concept of "Jewish self-hatred" came into theoretical, social scientific, literary, and critical vogue in 1940s and 1950s America. It argues that the proliferating public discourse on Jewish self-hatred grew out of three overlapping developments. First was the influence of psychological experts on American public life. Second was the influence of German Jewish émigré intellectuals like Kurt Lewin in giving social…
In the Blood? Consent, Descent, and the Ironies of Jewish Identity
Washington Post exposed the secret history of Secretary of State Madeleine Korbel Albright's family background. Because Albright's parents were Holocaust refugees and her grandparents were victims, much of the controversy focused on the conflict between one family's desire to escape history and the public's call for Albright to remember it.' But at the center of this particular storm lay another, equally controversial issue revolving around quest…
Women and the City
In a famous passage from his 1886 novel, The Bostonians, Henry James offered a scathing satire of the impact of the women's movement on the urban society of his day. “The masculine tone is passing out of the world; it's a feminine, a nervous, hysterical, chattering, canting age.” James's pejorative commentary notwithstanding, he was hardly alone in observing the g rowing influence of women on urban public culture. In Women and the City, Sarah Deu…

Give an Imitation of Me
Give an Imitation of Me": Vaudeville Mimics and the Play of the Self Susan A. Glenn (bio) In the winter of 1907, theatrical producer Joe Weber tried to stop comedienne Marie Dressler from singing her theme song, "A Great Big Girl Like Me," at the Colonial Theater in New York. Weber claimed that Dressler had first sung that song at Weber & Fields Music Hall, which gave the Music Hall exclusive performance rights to it. Marie Dressler's response wa…
Taking Burlesque Seriously
At the close of the 1869 theatrical season in Boston, William Dean Howells reflected upon the entertainment sensation of the year, an English troupe he described as pretty, very blond, and very unscrupulously clever. Both fascinated and repulsed by the horrible prettiness and infuriate grace of Lydia Thompson's British Blondes, what most disturbed him was their hybrid sexuality. Without trying to conceal the voluptuous curves of their bodies, the…

Daughters of the Shtetl
In this fascinating portrait of Jewish immigrant wage earners, Susan A. Glenn weaves together several strands of social history to show the emergence of an ethnic version of what early twentieth-century Americans called the "New Womanhood." She maintains that during an era when Americans perceived women as temporary workers interested ultimately in marriage and motherhood, these young Jewish women turned the garment industry upside down with a wa…
