Nashim: A Journal of Jewish Women’s Studies and Gender Issues, Special Issue 36: Jewish women medical practitioners in Europe before, during and after the Holocaust, Indiana University Press, Spring 2020, 205-233.
This article investigates the feminist memory of the Spanish Civil War,
focusing on two relevant cases from the Jewish/non-Jewish Spanish speaking
world—those of Micaela Feldman Etchebehere and Marie
Glas Langer. Both, the former a libertarian and the latter a communist,
were involved in medical practices and authored personal narratives of
caring in which the gender issue constitutes a key element. The analysis
of Feldman’s and Glas’s caring practices exposed in these texts follows
literary research methodologies. It focuses on the reconstruction
of autobiographical narratives, centered on topics of medical practice
and caring, intersected by the “female” condition and by feminist
propositions.
