The Jewish society of British Mandate Palestine (hereafter, the Yishuv) and the early years of the State of Israel was dominated by immigrants. Living in close proximity with non-Jewish populations in their countries of origin greatly influenced Jewish diaspora communities, shaping their world and economic, social, and cultural contacts – including family ties. Some immigrants were themselves couples with Jewish and non-Jewish partners. 1 This fact compounded their complex integration into the nascent host Jewish society, the non-Jewish spouse in many cases being the wife. This article explores the fascinating intersection between migration and gender and the way it is affected by national identity by looking at a unique test case – the immigration and absorption of mixed couples who moved to Israel from Poland during the second half of the 1950s. While seeking a new life, their encounter with the embryonic Israeli society – whose ethnic and national borders were still being shaped – was accompanied by vicissitudes not experienced by other immigrants. The gender aspect of migration and assimilation played a particularly significant role. Non-Jewish Polish wives being regarded as a threat to the growth of local Jewish society, their identity and gender directly impeded their assimilation. This historical issue sheds light on the confluence between migration and gender (a subject that is now being studied extensively), through everyday immigrant life. In examining the influence of ethnic and national identity upon intersectionality, I hope to add a further chapter to the discussion of the complicated links between migration and gender.

As we write this introduction, we are watching a viral moment of a girl’s resistance – made even more powerful because of her personal record of persistence – unfold in real time. We are referring to Greta Thunberg. On December 27, 2022, nineteen-year-old Thunberg replied to a tweet sent to her by professional misogynist Andrew Tate. His tweet, obviously intended to mock Thunberg’s longstanding commitment to environmental activism, stated, “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.” With his tweet, Tate included a photo of his cars. Rebecca Solnit describes the photo’s energy: “Cars are routinely tokens of virility and status for men, and the image accompanying his tweet of him pumping gas into one of his vehicles, coupled with his claims about their ‘enormous emissions,’ had unsolicited dick pic energy.” In response to Tate’s tweet, Thunberg tweeted, “yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com,” which Solnit characterizes as a response that “burned the macho guy to a crisp in nine words.” As of January 1, 2023, Thunberg’s response was listed as one of the top ten tweets of all time (Solnit). Since her first climate strikes at age fifteen through her addresses to the United Nations’ General Assembly and numerous national parliaments, Thunberg has been lauded for her persistence in pursuing action on climate change. Noting her influence as the “Greta Thunberg Effect,” Anandita Sabherwal et al describe her as “the most popular climate activist of our time” (330), acknowledging that “familiarity with [her] predicts collective action across all ages,” and that, furthermore, “These findings suggest that Greta Thunberg’s call to action could motivate public action across the political spectrum” (331). Despite that influence, or perhaps because Thunberg’s persistent commitment to combatting climate change has garnered the recognition and praise of world leaders, she must also deal with being publicly mocked and even attacked by individuals such as Tate and
