"When we think of Jewish comics, we usually think of male comics, with their humor that depicted Jewish mothers and young Jewish girls as selfish and manipulative. It took a long line of Jewish women – Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner and Wendy Wasserstein – who had show business in their hearts and souls to turn this around."     -Joyce Antler, Making Trouble

This hilarious and heartwarming tribute, produced by the Jewish Women’s Archive, captures their unique stories in a way that demonstrates to today’s audiences their enduring importance and their singular place in the history of Jewish women in the 20th century.
