Chutzpah is a brilliant and fascinating insight into an ultra-orthodox Jewish community. Yehudis Fletcher’s story is at the same time painful and inspiring. Despite resistance, she has dared to remain, forging a path for a more enlightened approach to observing Orthodox religion.
Harriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law
Yehudis Fletcher is an original thinker armed with clear-sightedness, courage and an extremely dry sense of humour. Her story, written reflections and advocacy have the ability to change communities for the better and empower those who need a roadmap to challenge the lives they’ve been conditioned to live.’
David Baddiel, author of Jews Don’t Count
A gutting, brave story, written with exquisite candour. Fletcher reaches past the printed page, into the hearts of readers. Chutzpah is a crucial narrative, a story that lifts the shadows off topics that are rarely explored.
Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat
A testament to the human will to overcome unimaginable torment. Yehudis’s resilience is truly inspirational. Her story will empower so many people.
Ashley Blaker, author of Normal Schmormal
Yehudis Fletcher writes compellingly…frank and uncensored…Few are like Fletcher and have the courage to seek a different way.
