This is the story of Shirley Rosalyn Kraus Tydor, the American-born daughter of early 20th-century Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. "For the Love of Shirley" provides readers with an intimate glimpse into one Jewish woman's challenges and choices in postwar Jewish America.

This book tells the story of mid-20th century Jewish America through the eyes of Bernice Cohen Schwartz, born in NYC in 1923, whose life reflects much of American Jewry's 20th century history: the Great Depression, WWII, Jewish educational and Institutions, the response to Israel, and the development of Jewish suburbia.

Freida Sima (Bertha) Eisenberg Kraus was one of two million Jewish men, women and children who emigrated from Europe to the United States during the Great Wave of Immigration (1881-1914). In many respects, her story was representative of an entire generation of young women who came to America during those years.

What makes us what we are? How does our gender affect our identity? Who are our heroes and heroines and how do they mould the decisions we make and the way we live our lives? In what ways does our connection - or lack there of - to our birth religion shape our adult selves? These are just some of the questions which Identity, Heroism and Religion in the Lives of Contemporary Jewish Women addresses. In examining the lives and deaths of various Jewish women during the 20th and 21st centuries this study focuses on the dynamic by which they formed their identities at times of crisis, whether in pre-State Israel, during and after the Holocaust in liberated Europe, or throughout Israel's formative years. As refugees, survivors, new immigrants or veteran citizens of a country these women's lives are probed and analyzed in terms of their relationship to each other, to their surroundings, their past, their future, their ideologies, and their geographic and virtual communities, presenting us with a mosaic of contemporary Jewish women's lives.
