Friends Barbara Gingold and Isabelle Seddon discuss the intersections of feminism, family, Israel, and Seddon’s recent publications Intrepid Pioneers: Jewish Women in the Public Arena and its sequel, Creating a Storm: Jewish Women in the World of Art and Culture, scheduled for publication in January 2025.
