Description
This book focuses on a previously undiscovered work by the famous Jewish social work pioneer Siddy Wronsky (1883–1947) from Berlin. In her novel 'Sand and Stars', Wronsky describes the immigration of four young Jews from Nazi Germany to Palestine, and their educational work and mission in the new land. As the analysis shows, this book is deeply embedded in the translation of social work from Germany to Mandatory Palestine as a 'gendered profession' in the making. It also reveals Wronsky as an agent of the transnational transfer of feminist ideas in relation to nationality/national identity, and the aspect of feminist literary activism at the time in relation to social welfare and social ideas and theories
