- Summary
- Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, is the largest Zionist organization in the Diaspora and the largest and most active Jewish women's organization ever. Its history is an inseparable part of the history of American Jewry and of the State of Israel, and the relationship between them. Hadassah is also part of the history of Jewish women in the United States and in the modern world more broadly. Its achievements are not only those of Zionism but, crucially, of women, and the author pays particular attention to the life stories of the individual women who played a role in them. Key aspects of Hadassah's operations at each stage in its development are also considered.
