NOTE

I have extracted the portions of two magazine articles for Dr. Ruth’s Dollhouses, one written by Ellen McCarthy of the Washington Post, the other by Matilda Feder on The Lilith Blog. I encourage you to read both articles in their entirety. Dr. Ruth Westheimer has had such an amazing life–so heartbreaking, and yet so uplifting. Learning more about it in these difficult times has made me feel less anxious. I hope it does the same for you. Links to their articles are below. There is also a link to a video with Chip Reed of CBC which is well worth watching.
