If I Only Was a Man
Every once in a while I go rummaging through my past in an attempt to figure out who I am. Among the various items I recently came across was a newspaper clipping from the December 15, 1932 edition of the New York Herald Tribune. The headline over the one-column story that ran on an inside page was “Fiery Cross on Jersey Lawn of Clubwoman.” The “clubwoman” was my mother, Elvira Kush Fradkin, class of 1913. Also among the items was an unpublished manuscript of 43,000 words. By Philip L. Fradkin
