Summary

"My Mother's Wars" by Lillian Faderman is a powerful and deeply moving memoir that intertwines the personal history of the author's mother, a Jewish immigrant in New York during the 1930s and 1940s, with broader themes of love, loss, and resilience. Set against the backdrop of the garment workers' union struggles and the looming shadow of the Holocaust, this book offers an intimate look at the challenges faced by women and minorities in a tumultuous era. Through her mother's experiences, Faderman paints a vivid picture of survival, activism, and the complex emotions tied to the immigrant experience in America.
