$25

Melissa R. Klapper, PhD
Professor of History and Director of Women’s & Gender Studies, Rowan University

Emma Mordecai was a Southern Jewish woman who lived through a pivotal point in American history.  An ardent defender of both Judaism and Confederate nationalism, she kept a diary during the last year of the Civil War that brings to life food shortages, local sociability, Jewish observances, sounds and sights of battle, and the very personal ramifications of emancipation for her household and family.

Books may be purchased at the discounted price of $25 in advance or at the program. Information to come.

Kosher lunch is provided.
