New Volume 38 Gender and the Body in East European Jewish History Jewish attitudes to the body, gender, and sexuality are traditionally influenced by religious considerations. Explorations in this volume extend to how communal and state-related concerns have intersected with the personal, in care for the elderly, birth control, white slavery, and burial, as well as in the recent entanglement of antisemitism and misogyny. This volume is edited by Elissa Bemporad (Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center), François Guesnet (University College London), Joanna Degler (Wroclaw University), and Antony Polonsky (Brandeis University and Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Warsaw).
