JewGirl: A Memoir On Being and Belonging

She stopped checking the box "White." Not because she wanted to make a point. Because some identities don't fit neatly in a checkbox. JewGirl is Marcie Maxfield's unflinchingly honest and often very funny account of what it means to be Jewish and female in America, where "privileged" and "at risk" have never been mutually exclusive. Through a series of interconnected essays, Maxfield explores identity, belonging, family, women's issues, antisemitism, and the strange math of being both too much and not enough for everyone else's idea of who she's supposed to be. Kirkus Reviews calls it "a fearless, witty memoir about being both privileged and perpetually at risk." BookLife Reviews praises its "frankness on motherhood, marriage, family dysfunction, monstrous men, and cultural identity" as "provocative, relatable, and engaging." This isn't a book about feeling like an outsider looking in. It's a book from someone who's lived it, laughed through it, and has a lot to say about it. It's for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fully belong in the box they were handed.
