Becoming Eve with Abby Chava Stein

Abby Stein was raised in a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, isolated in a culture that lives according to the laws and practices of eighteenth-century Eastern Europe, speaking only Yiddish and Hebrew and shunning modern life. Born as the first son in a dynastic rabbinical family, Abby was poised to become a leader of the next generation of Hasidic Jews. But Abby felt certain at a young age that she was a girl.
