Working toward a Healthy Generation: An Archival Show-and-Tell on Jewish Women’s Health in Eastern Europe
Hosted By: YIVO
From folk remedies to patient medical records to lectures, speeches, and pamphlets about contemporaneous medical practices, there are rich archival materials at YIVO that shed light on Jewish women’s health at the turn of the 20th century. This talk by the director of the YIVO Archives, Dr. Stefanie Halpern, will share documents and ephemera from the newly digitized Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Online Collections project that highlights Jewish women’s health and medicine in Eastern Europe.
Presented as part of the Yiddish Book Center’s 2022 Decade of Discovery: Women in Yiddish.
