Featuring Rachel "Ruchie" Freier, the women of Ezras Nashim.

"93Queen is the inspirational story of Rachel 'Ruchie' Freier, a no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who is determined to shake up the boy's club in her community by creating Ezras Nashim, the first all-female volunteer ambulance corps in New York City. In the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, EMS corps have long been the province of men. Though the neighborhood is home to the largest volunteer ambulance corps in the world known as Hatzolah, that organization has steadfastly banned women from its ranks. Now Ruchie and an engaging cast of dogged Hasidic women are risking their reputations-and, literally, the futures of their children-by taking matters into their own hands to provide dignified emergency medical care to the Hasidic women and girls of Borough Park. Through it all, we see them grappling to balance their faith with their nascent feminism, even as they are confronted by the patriarchal attitudes that so dominate Hasidic society. With unprecedented insider access, 93Qeen offers a unique portrayal of a group of empowered religious women who are taking matters into their own hands to change their own community from within."--Container.
