Indirectly, the effect of the magazine may be measurable in examining other publications and their seeming agreements with/reactions to articles and ideas in the American Jewess, but it would be difficult to establish a causal relationship here.

-- What was the effect on changes in the Jewish community on the American Jewess' articles and content? This question is really just the reverse of that above, but conclusions and conjectures composed in response to this question will have a higher degree of certainty and reliability, as the forces and influences from society on the publication would almost necessarily have been greater than vice-versa in order to keep the publication in print. The fact that it did not stay in print very long, of course, might suggest that the publication did not change enough with the times in order to maintain a stable readership and thus the economic means to continue, but this, too, would represent an answer of sorts to the research question. At any rate, this question more accurately positions the American Jewess as the voice of a select community within the country during a time of change.

-- What was the relationship of the American Jewess and Rosa Sonneschein in particular to the larger feminist movement?

Either way, this will better position the magazine and the views of its editor and authors in the larger context of the changing American culture and the feminist movement.

-- What effect did immigration have on the views and ideas presented in the American Jewess? This question is a more specific rendering of the second question listed here, regarding the influences changes to the Jewish community had on the magazine. Jewish immigration reached very high numbers in the 1890s, almost doubling the Jewish population in the country, and the changing ideas and ideals in the American Jewess must necessarily have been influenced by this massive influx and the changing population demographics it caused. Causality between immigration alone and the changing content of the magazine will be difficult to prove with any certainty, but careful analysis should yield useful and applicable results......
