Abby Stein is the tenth-generation descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement. In 2015, Stein came out as a woman, and she now works as a trans activist. In 2019, she served on the steering committee for the Women’s March in Washington, DC, and she was named by the Jewish Week as one of the “36 Under 36” Jews who are affecting change in the world. Powerful in the truths it reveals about biology, culture, faith, and identity, Stein’s book Becoming Eve poses the enduring question: How far will you go to become the person you were meant to be?
