While searching for Yiddish song lyrics, I came across this site hawking poetry from "the well-known Yiddish cultural activist and poet GITL SCHAECHTER-VISWANATH." Fame is all relative. In this case, much more so than others...
Well, I might have, but I hadn't.. Also, I was under the impression that Gitl was a woman's name (and, in fact, my grandmother's middle name). Following the links suggests that the author is a woman.
(I'm not an expert on Yiddish onomastics, though, even if I suspect "Viswanath" is a South Asian borrowing.)
