Characterized as a lifelong supporter of women’s rights\, Kaplan’s family\, including his wife and four daughters\, played a role in shaping his ideas about women\, culture\, and Zionism. This was especially of his second daughter\, Hadassah Kaplan\, who joined a small but influential cohort of American Jewish women who studied\, worked and volunteered in British Mandate Palestine. Promised Lands draws on a rich personal archive of diary entries\, photographs\, and letters\, to follow Hadassah’s journey to Palestine and illustrate how travel shaped a cohort of American Jewish women who went on to shape American Jewry.
