"Sometimes the she-demon seductress, at others the silently suffering saint, the eternal 'Wandering Jewess' stands for all the spirited, passionate, and compassionate women of all time. ...Woman or Jew - both misunderstood, both distorted by this mythical image which has shaped attitudes toward women and toward Jews throughout the ages."
