You Never Call! You Never Write!: A History of the Jewish Mother
This isn't a complete history of the Jewish mother, but more a review of the Jewish American mother from the early 20th century through to the early 21st. There's some history and sociology, but the book is tilted towards cultural portrayals of the Jewish mother and the development of the stereotype as an overprotective nag. It's somewhat selective but nonetheless interesting--I preferred the more historically connected aspects and less those that are solely cultural analysis with less connection to the lived reality of Jewish women.
