Indirectly, the effect of the magazine may be measurable in examining other publications and their seeming agreements with/reactions to articles and ideas in the American Jewess, but it would be difficult to establish a causal relationship here.
-- What was the effect on changes in the Jewish community on the American Jewess' articles and content? This question is really just the reverse of that above, but conclusions and conjectures composed in response to this question will have a higher degree of certainty and reliability, as the forces and influences from society on the publication would almost necessarily have been greater than vice-versa in order to keep the publication in print. The fact that it did not stay in print very long, of course, might suggest that the publication did not change enough with the times in order to maintain a stable readership and thus the economic means to continue, but this, too, would represent an answer of sorts to the research question. At any rate, this question more accurately positions the American Jewess as the voice of a select community within the country during a time of change.
-- What was the relationship of the American Jewess and Rosa Sonneschein in particular to the larger feminist movement? This question can be answered largely from the primary document itself, with the addition of other broader...
Through such comparisons, and examinations of other feminist tracts and publications of the era, the American Jewess' perspective can be accurately seen as perhaps leading the feminist charge and being somewhat ahead of its time, or it might show a different trajectory from the larger feminist movement altogether. Either way, this will better position the magazine and the views of its editor and authors in the larger context of the changing American culture and the feminist movement.
-- What effect did immigration have on the views and ideas presented in the American Jewess? This question is a more specific rendering of the second question listed here, regarding the influences changes to the Jewish community had on the magazine. Jewish immigration reached very high numbers in the 1890s, almost doubling the Jewish population in the country, and the changing ideas and ideals in the American Jewess must necessarily have been influenced by this massive influx and the changing population demographics it caused. Causality between immigration alone and the changing content of the magazine will be difficult to prove with any certainty, but careful analysis should yield useful and applicable results.
Jewish Women in America: preserving Jewish Tradition. Women play an important role in the preservation of the Jewish identity within families and larger communities. Women hold many positions in society that aid this role including more traditional roles for women, such as mother or teacher, as well as contemporary roles, such as writer, politician, or other professional. Jewish women in America face the challenge of facing a rapidly changing contemporary
1897-1898 1896 saw the expansion of the American Jewess with the opening of a New York office, though the content of the magazine appeared largely unchanged at the beginning of 1897. The January issue of the publication contains many articles that were themed similarly to the previous issues of the magazine, though there is a decidedly more practical nature to many of the articles included in the issue. "Household hints" and

This piece of literature is fascinating partly because it is so emblematic of this particular timeframe in a number of different ways. Specifically, the preoccupation with the theme of
