Ayelet Brinn’s com­pre­hen­sive account of the gen­der dynam­ics that shaped Amer­i­can Jew­ish cul­ture dur­ing its for­ma­tive years reminds us that rev­o­lu­tions, espe­cial­ly those that have to do with gen­der, are nev­er finite or com­plete. With exquis­ite prose and nuanced analy­sis of a wide array of sources, A Rev­o­lu­tion in Type offers a time­ly and force­ful con­tri­bu­tion to the study of Jew­ish his­to­ry, cul­ture, and gender.
