Post wrote:
"Within both Memories and A Girl Can't Become a Gaon? (1919) - her last work, published in New York after her move to America - Foner opens a window on the roles of women in the 19th century Pale of Settlement. It is a given that women were not expected to be Torah scholars, yet these works are peppered with what women did do, and did know. Foner recalls how her own mother quoted the Talmud; there are female store owners, female moneychangers, and rich, influential, independent women." The novella The Treachery of Traitors is a Biblical fiction set in Second Temple times, and was originally published in 1891.Foner adds several strong female characters to Josephus's story of treachery and regicide. Her short story, The Children's Path, is also set in the Second Temple period, and may have been the first Hebrew children's story published by a woman (1886). The 302 page hardcover has a cover price of $21.95, and is available to Judaica Shops at a 40% discount.
