After listening to her on brief appearances in the media I was sure she must’ve had Jewish roots and didn’t need to stand to be corrected.

I identified over 30 Jewish authors participating at the Writers Festival.
I also managed to snap one of the founding modern Feminists Susie Orbach. Alas not Gloria Steinem
