Award-winning author and Detroit native Marcie Blumberg Maxfield returns to her home state to talk about her second book, JewGirl: A Memoir On Being and Belonging (2025), with award-winning journalist Lila Lazarus.
JewGirl is a bold, funny, and unflinchingly honest essay collection about what it means to be Jewish and female right now—in a world where antisemitism is on the rise and women's rights are under attack. With razor-sharp wit and fearless candor, Maxfield mines her own lived experiences, weaving them together with history, politics, pop culture, and social commentary. The result is a fierce, feminist exploration that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, encompassing the struggle of being and the universal search for belonging.
