In this thesis, I trace and analyze the historical, social, and political uses of three identity labels: woman, queer, and Jewish. These three identity categories are personally important to me because I identify as a queer, Jewish woman.

This thesis is a sociopolitical inquiry into the labels that make up my own identity and shape my experiences within the world.
