Women, jobs and ethnicity are hot topics today. Breaking Ground: The Careers of 20 Chicago Jewish Women touches on all of these subjects, and much more. In their own voices, twenty Chicago Jewish women relate personal stories of their jobs, experiences, contributions and the role of Judaism in their lives and work. The book's limitation to Chicago and the careers of Jewish women make this book unique, but anyone reading the book will attest to its universal appeal. Presently, there are no books on the market on this specific subject.? Breaking Ground: The Careers of 20 Chicago Jewish Women is about courageous women, many who have successfully broken into male-dominated professions, and in so doing, have opened up the doors for future generations of women.
