8. Sima and Timna have a very complex relationship, particularly with regard to Simaís feelings about 

Timnaís beauty. How would you categorize this aspect of their relationship? Do you think itís common for 

women to have that kind of appreciation for another womanís beauty or sex appeal? 

I was interested in exploring desire, which can be a pretty messy emotion. Sima does admire Timna. I 

think women evaluate each other all the time, either with admiration or criticism. But she also desires her. 

In part Sima wants Timna to be the daughter she never had, and in part Sima wants to be Timna herself, 

to have the beauty and confidence that evaded her in her own youth. And in part Sima desires Timna 

physically, in that she feels attracted to Timna. Thatís not an aspect of her relationship that Sima would 

openly acknowledge, but it is part of what compels her to keep Timna close. 

9. What responses have you had from readers? Do you see any difference in reactions between older 

and younger readers? Do men respond to the book differently than women do?

INTRODUCTION 

Whether theyíre looking for demi-cup bras or full-body girdles, for more than thirty years women of all 

ages have come to Sima Goldnerís shop. Tucked away in a basement deep in the Orthodox Jewish 

neighborhood of Boro Park, New York, the tiny store is a community treasureóa place to congregate, 

commiserate, and buy new lingerie. With her sharp and experienced eye, Sima can size up a woman in 

an instant, and with a stitch, some underwire, and a few words of encouragement, her customers leave 

the shop feeling good about their bodies and themselves. But as much as she can help other women, 

Sima canít seem to help herself. Childless and filled with regret, stuck in a lonely, bitter marriage, Simaís 

store is her entire world. And then, suddenly, Timna walks in.  

  Ilana Stanger-Rossís debut novel Simaís Undergarments for Women tells the story of Simaís 

infatuation with the young and exquisitely beautiful Timnaóa platonic and peculiar love that blurs the 

lines between maternal affection, adoration, and friendship. Recently arrived from Israel, Timna stumbles 

into Simaís shop in the hope of employment; when Sima hires her as a seamstress, their relationship 

blossoms. In Timna, Stanger-Ross has created an exotic, enigmatic foil to Simaís pessimism and self-

doubt. Where Sima is hesitant, Timna is bold, and soon Sima is living vicariously through her adventurous 

young friend. While she wants to be like Timna, she also wants to keep Timna from becoming like her, 

and Simaís desire to protect her brings their relationship to a breaking point. 

  A blend of rueful humor and poignant observations, Simaís Undergarments for Women is written 

in the intimate, casual tones women use when whispering secrets, confiding worries, and sharing 

wisdomóthe voice of generations of mothers, daughters, and friends. Sima is a flawed but honest 

heroine, and her struggles, sacrifices, and disappointments are as touching as her efforts to overcome

Health

The rage for medical alchemy, which only grew during the Renaissance, brought into focus the importance of philosophical thinking, drawing upon the ideas of many cultures, to the development of notions about bodily health. Rationality, a peculiar obsession of the Greeks, contributed to the separation of bodily concerns from those of the spirit. Although ancient Greek physicians called themselves philosophers, they excluded from philosophical/medical consideration supernatural causes of disease as being the province of magicians, because they were anxious to define their young profession as different, and better, than that of the faith healer. Medieval Christian and Islamic physicians admitted that lack of health could be associated with sin or magic, but dismissed these factors as outside the realm of Aristotelian medical practice. The seventeenth-century thinker Descartes (1596-1650), as part of a larger mechanical philosophy, made a separation between mind and body that was total. For Descartes, and other mechanists who followed after him, the healthy body was nothing more than a well-functioning machine, soulless and subject to chemical and mechanical remedies.

Beauty

The changing ideals of both men's and women's beauty is linked to society's perception of appropriate gender roles. The shifts from the maternal, robust body of the mid and late Victorian ages, to the slender ideal of the 1920s, to the compact, slim body of the present reflect changes in the perception of the proper role for women: from mother and caretaker of house and home, through the independent young women of the 1920s, to the active professional and disciplined women of the present.

Beauty, however, does not only relate to the ideal roles ascribed to men and women, but is part of ongoing social identification processes: a person might strive towards a certain ideal to signal man- or motherhood, or independence, but might also be judged differently by others. Furthermore, the interpretation of a body also changes with the context: a woman's thin, muscular body might be seen as representing the disciplined, independent, and professional woman of the 1990s, but seen next to the muscular body of a man she could still represent the fragility and vulnerability of woman.
