Professor Shulamit Magnus
Shulamit Magnus has two major projects underway. She is completing an annotated translation of, critical commentary on, and introduction to the memoirs of Pauline Wengeroff (1833-1916) [Memoiren einer Grossmutter], a major piece of writing by a Jewish woman about the emergence of Jewish modernity and its cultural and familial travails in Tsarist Russia. Her edition of the two volumes of Wengeroff's memoirs will be published by the University of California Press. (For more information, see Oberlin Online story.)
She is also working on a book of essays about Wengeroff's memoirs and their significance for the understanding of Jewish modernity, the role of gender in modern Jewish memory, and Jewish women's history.
