Long overlooked yet hugely influential, a towering Jewish American humanitarian finally receives her due in this inspiring biography of the visionary Zionist and women’s rights leader who helped shape modern Jewish life.

As founder of Hadassah, builder of a modern healthcare and social service system in pre-state Israel, and fierce advocate for education and Jewish–Arab cooperation, Henrietta Szold was a force of nature who galvanized a global network of Jewish women. Her boldest achievement, Youth Aliyah, rescued thousands of Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe. Through archival footage, intimate letters, and firsthand reflections lifted by Tovah Feldshuh’s stirring narration, this rousing tribute honors a trailblazer whose moral clarity, courage, and humanity continue to echo today.
