Lilly Rivlin announced right now the death of E.M.Broner, a Jewish feminist who explored in her books (both fiction and non-fiction) the double marginalization of being Jewish and female. Ms. Broner was intensely concerned with Jewish spirituality, and with carving out a place for women in a faith tradition that had long seemed not to want them. Her most influential book was The Women's Haggadah, in which the Passover seder was recast from a feminist vantage point.

Ms. Broner died in Manhattan. She was 83.

There is an article in NY Times devoted to the personality of E. M. Broner:
