Ellen Cassedy is a co-founder of 9 to 5, the movement of working women; the author of a book about reckoning with Holocaust history; and a translator from Yiddish. Ellen Cassedy was a founder of 9 to 5, the movement of working women that mobilized for rights and respect on the job. "Working 9 to 5" is her first-person account of how a diverse group of women took on the corporate titans, organized a union, won victories from coast to coast – and inspired Jane Fonda’s hit movie and Dolly Parton’s enduring anthem. In "We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust," Ellen embarks on a journey to connect with her Jewish family roots that expands into a wider quest, offering hope for a more tolerant future. Winner of the Grub Street National Book Prize for Nonfiction, shortlisted for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing. Ellen Cassedy is a translator from Yiddish. "Oedipus in Brooklyn and Other Stories by Blume Lempel" (with Yermiyahu Ahron Taub) blends the realistic and the fantastic, the lyrical and the philosophical. Winner of the Leviant Memorial Prize from the Modern Language Association. "On the Landing: Stories by Yenta Mash" traces an arc across upheavals and regime changes, making a major contribution to the literature of immigration and resilience.
