β€œHeroes: Grace Paley, Tillie Olsen, Shirley Chisholm β€” what a generation!”
Irena Klepfisz
β€œif you’re going to be involved with the Left, you’ve got to start thinking about Israel. Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz and I became very committed to supporting the Women in Black in β€˜87. I formed a group here, the Jewish Women’s Committee to End the Occupation (JWCEO) with Clare Kinberg and Grace Paley. We wanted to be identified as Jews protesting.”
