Her Works Praise Her: A History of Jewish Women in America from Colonial Times to the Present, by Hasia R. Diner ( TPB, 2002, water marks, $2.50)
15 generations of mothers and daughters...
"Brimming with stories of grit, sacrifice and accomplishment, the result is an engrossing account of how America transformed Jewish women- and how they, in turn, transformed America."
You can find this book in the Jewish religion section. (And yes, I know it could/should be filed in other places. I am just winging it here.)
