Levine, Stephanie Wellen
Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers: An Intimate Journey Among Hasidic Girls. Levine, Stephanie Wellen. New York University Press, 2003.
Synopsis: In this refreshing portrayal of girls who are far from insecure, Levine presents a contrasting path to that of mainstream adolescent girls. While a graduate student in American studies at Harvard, Levine spent a year living as a "participant observer" in the Lubavitcher community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. From interviews with 32 girls ages 13 to 23, Levine culled seven portraits of girls which challenge us to draw on Hasidism as an unexpected source in helping our own girls develop into secure, confident adults.
