A compelling biography of an important eyewitness to the twentieth century. Marie Syrkin' s life spanned ninety years of the twentieth century, 1899-1989. As a polemical journalist, socialist Zionist, poet, educator, literary critic, translator, and idiosyncratic feminist, she was an eyewitness to and reporter on most of the major events in America, Israel, and Europe. Beautiful as well as brilliant, she had a rich personal life as a lover, wife, mother, and friend. During her lifetime Syrkin' s name was widely recognized in the world of Jewish life and letters. Yet, since Syrkin' s death, recognition of her name is no longer quite so immediate. Carole S. Kessner' s biography restores Syrkin' s fascinating life and legacy for a new generation.

"Finally, Zionist thinker Marie Syrkin gets the recognition she deserves. . . . It is not sentimental overpraise to say that Marie Syrkin deserves a place at the roundtable of great intellects who helped shape contemporary Jewish-American liberalism. " * Haaretz *
