Evening Book Club

The Cure for Women:  Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and the Challenge to Victorian Medicine That Changed Women’s Lives Forever, by Lydia Reeder

Facilitated by Cheryl Hecht, NON-FICTION

How Victorian male doctors used false science to argue that women were unfit for anything but motherhood—and the brilliant doctor who defied them.  Into the midst of this turmoil marched tiny, dynamic Mary Putnam Jacobi, daughter of New York publisher George Palmer Putnam and the first woman to be accepted into the world-renowned Sorbonne medical school in Paris. As one of the best-educated doctors in the world, she returned to New York for the fight of her life. Aided by other prominent women physicians and suffragists, Jacobi conducted the first-ever data-backed, scientific research on women's reproductive biology. The results of her studies shook the foundations of medical science and higher education.

  Please RSVP for dinner. There is NO cost to attend.  Dinner begins at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7:00pm

What are the Political Implications and Strategic Reverberations of the Recent Wars?

For this year’s Tillie and Max Stein Family Lecture, we welcome Michael Eisenstadt, Kahn Senior Fellow, Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

Michael Eisenstadt will be in conversation with Professor Ken Stein to examine how the recent wars are reshaping Israel’s regional strategy — and American Jewish connection to Israel.

What are the Political Implications and Strategic Reverberations of the Recent Wars?

The recent wars, catalyzed by Iran, could dramatically transform the Middle East. Already they have had an enormous impact on Israel and world Jewry. If Iran remains a regional powerhouse, will Israel have to go to war every eight months? In the meantime, the wars may impact fall 2026 elections in the United States and in Israel. Come join us for a timely and insightful evening.

Michael Eisenstadt is the Kahn Senior Fellow and director of the Military and Security Studies Program at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. A specialist on Arab-Israeli and Persian Gulf security affairs, he has published widely on irregular and conventional warfare, and nuclear weapons proliferation in the Middle East. Prior to joining the Institute in 1989, Mr. Eisenstadt worked as a military analyst with the U.S. government. He also served for twenty-six years as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, including deployments to Iraq, Turkey, and Israel, before retiring from the reserves in 2010. He is a scholar of Jewish and Islamic History.

Don’t miss this discussion followed by Q&A. No charge. Registration required.

Relevant publications include the following:
