Timeline

1900

Hirsch has also pursued an interest in architecture, and over a period of 35 years restored a 1900s duplex in Venice, California.

1940

Hirsch grew up in a Montreal Jewish community in the mid-1940s, reading and learning from the Torah in Hebrew and Yiddish at an early age.

"Gilah Yelin Hirsch has been immersed in Jewish studies since childhood."

Her secular schooling was in English and French.

While striving to learn about the world, Hirsch faced much emotional strife during her formative years.

This was because of both her mother's mental illness and father's invalid state.

To help her endure these physical and emotional assaults, Hirsch read "... the great philosophers, writers, early feminists, Freud and Jung, all included in the floor to ceiling library of my parents' small apartment."

Hirsch later on published Demonic to Divine: The Double Life of Shulamis Yelin, a book that includes excerpts of Hirsch's mother's diaries and some of her stories.

"This book poignantly illuminates the dramatic duality of a public and private literary and emotional life through her published and unpublished stories of an idyllic Montreal childhood contrasted with deeply troubled and often shocking diary entries that document the author's lifelong battle with mental illness."
