Find out the compelling story of early media #influencer Maud Gonne.
Her great aunt, Countess of Sizeranne, who took Maud under her wing to teach her that a woman’s power came from confidence and careful presentation: one’s choice of hat, of perfume, of dress, of style and grace mattered. From her, Maud learned to use her beauty and allure as a tool to mesmerize and manipulate men and, as her activism grew, to captivate audiences on her speaking tours in support of Irish independence.
Maud shocked contemporaries by having two children out of wedlock. Her son Sean MacBride continued her life’s work on behalf of human rights and political prisoners and co-founded Amnesty International. In 1974, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Inclusion in arts and entertainment is important. The things we do to entertain ourselves, our games, tv shows, movies, affect how we think of ourselves and how others see us. I've always been into historical role-playing games, but I have long thought there was a lack of content from a Jewish perspective. So, I have started a group for sharing and collaborating on Jewish oriented content in RPGs, both D&D and other systems. If you play or create online or tabletop games, check it out:

Today is Henrietta Szold's 160th birthday - academic and activist, she acquired the affectionate title, Mother of the Yishuv. The kerfuffle surrounding Dr Jill Biden’s title made me think about Henrietta afresh. What title for the Jewish woman who sacrifices her life for the Jewish people? What title for all the Jewish women who, as it says in the Yekum Purkan prayer said on Shabbat mornings, support the community with acts of tzedakah (righteous charity)? Find out more about Henrietta, and perhaps you can think of an appropriate title for the modern day Henriettas. Susan Weidman Schneider Naomi Danis
I'm writing all fans of Jewish feminist/gender inclusion music to come to our concert on Sunday!
Finally a book has come out that all Jewish People must read. It explains that neither Jewish or any man had anything to do with Jesus's Death. Also explain what happened to Jesus when he went against God's wishes and went upon the mountain with Satan. DO YOU KNOW WHY?
Why Did Jesus say… Pick Up the Serpent and Drink All Deadly Things?
Why did Jesus tell the rich man… To see Heaven, you must obey the Ten Commandments
and give to the Needy, yet preachers tell you that you are forgiven for your sins?
Why did Jesus say… Don’t call me Good Master for there is none good but God. but later said I am the way and the light, and you can only get to Heaven through me?
If Jesus is God why when he was on the cross, cry out God, God, why have you forsaken me?
If Jesus was dying for our sins (which the Bible never said so) then why would he say God forsaken him?
A God can move mountains and hold back seas, why was Jesus not able to remove a small nail from his hand.
How did Mary walk right pass Jesus and not notice him? Why did his disciples go up to him and ask Stranger, have you seen Jesus?
What really happened to Jesus when he went up on the mountain with Satan?
There are many questions about the Bible and finally there is a book that explains all.

Wonderful.
Often, career women stand on the shoulders of other women in their lives who served as mentors, role models, pillars of support ... such as their mothers.
This letter is from my bold writer and teacher mom, soliciting freelance work as a young mother in the 1950's. I was her "baby girl" -- and I still miss and need her.

Gentlemen:
I should like to know if you have any free-lance copy-editing and proofreading work to be done. If so, I am definitely in the market for these services.
For two years I was a copy editor in Harper & Brothers Publishers' trade book department. The books in this department ranged from the most distinguished belles-lettres to the rough whodonits and how-to's. With this experience and discipline under my belt, I feel I can cope with any kind of manuscript or set of galleys which you may have to offer.
The reason I solicit free-lance work is that I have a baby girl who needs me at home. But I have ample time in which to do free-lance work, and I assure you I would be faithful to any deadline you issued.
Should you wish to arrange an interview, discuss the stylistic policies of your publishing house, rates, etc., my telephone number is Riverside 9-6932. I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
(Mrs.) Sydell Rosenberg
Enjoy!
