Dr. Paula Hyman was a Professor of modern Jewish History at Yale and a social historian who pioneered the study of women in Jewish life. She wrote ten books about the Jewish experience in Europe and the US, often focusing on women’s experiences. WFF expresses our condolences to Dr. Hyman’s family and colleagues.
