Sometimes the title tells you all you really need to know. But I did write a little more on this than just the one line, and the piece — a draft of which I tried out here — is now in the Chronicle of Higher Education, in the Chronicle Review. I’d like to thank the Chronicle editors for vastly improving the working title.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Bonnie Anderson, author of the brand-new book The Rabbi’s Atheist Daughter: Ernestine Rose, International Feminist Pioneer (Oxford University Press, 2017), for encouraging me to submit the article in the first place.
