    Extractions: The American Jewess Last week, after Jewish writer Tillie Olsen died at the age of 94, I picked up a copy of Tell Me A Riddle , her first collection of short stories published in 1961. Last night I re-read “I Stand Here Ironing,” a story that recounts a poor working woman’s ambivalence about her parenting skills and about her eldest daughter’s future during the Great Depression. The narrator, a middle-aged single mother of four—as Olsen was when she wrote the story—wrestles with her own feelings of inadequacy in a world that offers little public understanding of her daily struggles to put food on the table, treat illnesses, comb her children’s hair, and iron her daughter’s dress as she does throughout the narration of the story. Like many of Olsen’s stories, "I Stand Here Ironing" gives voice to what is often silenced: the limitations imposed by poverty, the abandonment of a husband and father, and the alienation of being “dark and thin and foreign-looking in a world where the prestige went to blondeness, curls, chubbiness and dimples.”

Girls Don’t Wanna Cheer Girls Jump to Comments not writing—those few were so powerful they made of Tillie a beloved feminist icon who spoke on panels, won awards, and was taught in women’s studies and literature courses. January 14th would have been her 95th birthday, and so, yesterday, many paid tribute to Olsen, on radio broadcasts and at private and public readings. I met Tillie on September 9th, 1999 (9/9/99), in my capacity as coordinator for the Bay Area Local of the National Writers Union. One of the perks of the job was being able to interview member writers for our newsletter, so when I learned that Tillie was in our union, I went nuts. I still remember the bemused reaction I got from Brad Cleveland, our Chairperson and therefore my supervisor, when I spotted Tillie’s name on the membership list. My hand flew to my heart, which had sped up considerably. “Tillie Olsen,” I breathed, with purest rapture. Like so many women of my generation, I knew by heart the immortal first line of Tillie’s short story I Stand Here Ironing I stand here ironing, and what you asked me moves tormented back and forth with the iron

Inevitably, man arrogated this divine power to himself: "Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast in the field and every bird in the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call Them: whatever the man called every living creature, that was his name" (Gen. 2:19).
