Its innovative website, jwa.org, provides free access to a wide range of resources on American Jewish women, past and present, celebrated and unknown.

    Edith Yokell was the daughter of Alexander and Manya Gersen of Elizabethtown NY. Here's Manya: Stanley and Edith Yokell were living in Boulder, Colorado, in 2007, when Edith's sister Ruth died (according to Ruth's NYTimes obit).
