Devorah Baron

Devorah Baron was born in 1887 in Uzda, near Minsk, the daughter of Rabbi Shabtai Baron, who, contrary to custom, gave her the religious education reserved for boys. She wrote in Hebrew from the age of twelve and published her first stories in the press at fifteen. Having arrived in Palestine in 1910, she ran the literary section of the weekly Ha-Poel ha-Tsaïr and married its editor, Yosef Aharonovitz. Exiled to Alexandria during the First World War, she lived as a recluse at home from 1923, wrote her best stories there, and died in 1956.
