Description
A compelling biography of an important eyewitness to the twentieth century.
Marie Syrkin – Values Beyond the Self spans Marie Syrkin’s life from 1899 to 1989—a significant portion of the twentieth century. As a polemical journalist, socialist Zionist, poet, educator, literary critic, translator, and idiosyncratic feminist, she was both an eyewitness to and a reporter on many of the major events occurring in America, Israel, and Europe. Beautiful as well as brilliant, she enjoyed a rich personal life as a lover, wife, mother, and friend.
During her lifetime, Syrkin’s name was widely recognized in the world of Jewish life and letters. However, since her passing, her recognition has diminished somewhat. Carole S. Kessner’s biography seeks to restore Syrkin's fascinating life and legacy for a new generation.

“Finally, Zionist thinker Marie Syrkin gets the recognition she deserves. . . . It is not sentimental overpraise to say that Marie Syrkin deserves a place at the roundtable of great intellects who helped shape contemporary Jewish-American liberalism.” Haaretz
