How Jewish families prime girls for success in schools and careers
“The central finding of the paper is about girls raised by Jewish parents — not ‘Jewish girls,’ because this paper is a story about how families socialize their children."
Ilana Horwitz, an assistant professor of Jewish studies and sociology at Tulane University, is the co-author of “From Bat Mitzvah to the Bar," which argues that elite colleges and ambitious careers are central to the “self-concept” of girls who grow up in Jewish homes.
