Yiddish Women Dikheterin Collection [Many volumes signed and inscribed]

2009. An extensive collection of Yiddish literature written by women 1880-2009 with over 950 books and periodicals of poetry, prose, history, journalism, memoir and biography. Created by booksellers Henry Hollander and Eric Chaim Kline, the archive expresses how Jewish women saw themselves and the broader culture as they moved into modernity. The works are pivotal to understanding how Eastern European Jewish women, who had been relegated to studies of the Bible, customs, ceremonies and folklore, expanded their purview and integrated their religious and secular lives. Many books in this collective oeuvre are inscribed, signed or in dust jackets. The archive is arranged in 14 sections including literature, theater, childrens, anthology, translation, essay and correspondence, nonfiction, memoir and biography, Holocaust, and religion. Arranged within 14 sections:

Introduction / Anthology / Childrens / Correspondence and Essay / Holocaust / Literature / Male Authors: Female Protagonists / Memoir and Biography / Nonfiction / Periodicals / Prayer Books / Religion / Theater: Plays and Memoirs / Translated from Yiddish into English and Hebrew / Translated into Yiddish
