Jewish Heritage Month: Geeky Jewish Women

Written by GeekGirlCon Manager of Editorial Services Winter Downs.

Whether acknowledged or not, Jewish people were instrumental in shaping 20th Century US culture and scientific advancement. As a person of Jewish heritage myself, I am always excited to find out that someone I admire is Jewish, but oftentimes I don’t know that information unless I specifically go looking. It seems that Jewishness is often subsumed into other ethnic identities–and of course there are the thousands of non-practicing Jews (like me) who feel some degree of connection to our Jewish heritage, but that might not be obvious in our day to day life.

Since May is Jewish Heritage Month, this seems like a good time to highlight Jewish people’s contributions to US culture
