Samantha Greene Woodruff, THE TRADE OFF
Description
Zibby chats with author Samantha Greene Woodruff about THE TRADE OFF, a captivating 1920s historical novel about an ambitious woman who fights for her place on Wall Street, inspired by the true story of a pioneering investment legend. Samantha delves into her protagonist, who, as a poor Jewish woman, faces societal barriers and has to support her brother as the “woman behind the man.” She touches on the siblings’ toxic relationship, the looming stock market crash, and the novel’s Jewish components. Finally, she discusses her essay contribution to Zibby’s latest anthology, ON BEING JEWISH NOW, and shares how the current climate has deepened her connection to her heritage.
