Update:
We’ve decided that all published essays will be anonymous. So many would-be writers reached out to us to indicate they were hesitant to write if their names were included. As women, we often deal with a fear of judgement that holds us back from expressing our own truths. Forgoing formal attribution will allow readers to focus on the narratives rather than the individual authors. We’ve also extended the deadline to January 31,2021.
In this pivotal moment in history, we know there is so much on the minds of the Jewish women and girls of Atlanta. The struggles. The hopes for the future. The opportunities before us. We know that between the pandemic and protests, mental health and mommying, learning and living, there is much on everyone’s minds, and we want to provide a platform for you to share.
You have a story to tell, and we would love to hear it.
Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta is collecting essays as part of an anthology project. This initiative is open to all self-identifying, Jewish women and girls in the metro-Atlanta area. Essays can be submitted online through January 31, 2021. Selected works will appear in print and cover a variety of themes. Details and submission guidelines are available at 2020 Vision: Reflections from the women and girls of Jewish Atlanta in this pivotal year – Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta (jwfatlanta.org). Essays that appear in the publication will be edited for clarity, in collaboration with each author.
