rivqa's review against another edition
5.0
This academic work is very approachable and deeply informative--not only about the titular Maiden, but also about Hasidic life in 19th-century Ukraine. Through this mysterious character who left few traces in male-dominated (and recorded) history, Deutsch has examined her contemporaries' views on gender and gender roles, class and spirituality. A fascinating read.
