[quote=Anonymous]OP, NP here. Not Jewish, but have many many great friends who are. One of my closest friends is the most charming, lovely woman/mother you could ever meet. My question? Where did the stereotype of the overbearing, guilt-tripping, Jewish mother come from? Forgive me if my description isn't right on the money - but my friends could not be further from the stereotype. Was there something like a "Tiger Mom" syndrome in the early U.S. communities - to study hard an make good grades. Or does it go back further? Also, I had heard older Jewish men use the term "Jewess" in a non-derogatory way to describe women, but I have assumed that term is one to be avoided. True?[/quote]
