Intimations of Difference : Dvora Baron in the Modern Hebrew Renaissance - Sheila E. Jelen
"Dvora Baron (1887-1956) has been called "the founding mother of Hebrew women's literature. " Born in a small town on the outskirts of Minsk to the community rabbi, Baron immigrated from the Jewish Pale of Settlement to Palestine in 1910. Although she was not the only woman writing in Hebrew in the first few decades of the twentieth century, Baron was the only woman to achieve recognition in the canon of modern Hebrew fiction during that period.". -- Book Jacket
