Jean Gornish couldn’t lead synagogue services due to her gender, but this cantor’s daughter still found a way to follow her passion. As “Sheindele die Chazente,” she instead performed on the radio and stage. Audiences found her renditions of religious and folk songs irresistible. She wore this satin gown during concerts in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other cities.
