Other Things Being Equal provides important insights into the American assimilationist tradition that is an essential context for the study of Jewish writing and culture at the turn of the century; at the same time, it expands our understanding of the range of women's writing in nineteenth-century America. Barbara Cantalupo's fine introduction illuminates the biographical and historical contexts that produced the novel. This new edition is an important work of literary recovery.
