Sunshine Hall Talks: Susan Weidman Schneider

Join Susan Weidman Schneider, Lilith magazine’s editor in chief, for lively conversation about Lilith’s groundbreaking Jewish feminist anthology, “Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women,” at Sunshine Hall Free Library. Everyone will receive a complimentary copy of the latest issue!

Susan Weidman Schneider, one of Lilith magazine’s founding mothers, has been editor in chief since the magazine launched in 1976. Her writing about diverse women’s lives and work, about the importance of reproductive justice, the persistence of gender stereotyping and more have been credited with moving the needle on feminist change in the Jewish world and beyond. She’s the author of three books, including the groundbreaking Jewish and Female (1984) and is editor of a widely praised new anthology of short stories, Frankly Feminist.

Since 1976, Lilith’s mission is to both bear witness to change and to spur change, helping to create greater gender equality in all fields while amplifying women’s personal stories. The award-winning Lilith magazine is known for hard-hitting investigative reporting, women’s truth-telling memoirs and for its original fiction, poetry and art. Lilith––and Susan Weidman Schneider’s work––empower women, girls and nonbinary people of every background to envision and enact positive change in their own lives.
