Unorthodox : The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots / Deborah Feldman
Livre
Edité par Simon & Schuster Paperbacks. New York - 2020
As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak, to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young women whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary heroines of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.
