In other stories Liebrecht introduces an Israeli Jewish woman who wishes to build a room on the roof of her house, and an Arab worker; a woman who seeks her daughter and learns thereby something about herself and her life; and a woman whose son has become deeply religious. Other collections include Susim al Kevish Gehah ("Horses on the Highway," ); Sinit Ani Medabberet Elekha ("It's All Greek to Me, He Said to Her," ); Ẓarikh Sof le-Sippur Ahavah ("On Love Stories and Other Endings," ); Nashim mitokh ha-Katalog ("Mail Order Women," ); and Makom Tov la-Laylah ("A Good Place for the Night," ).

In the story "Excision," a grandmother jaggedly shears her four-year-old granddaughter's beautiful locks to eradicate lice because that is how they did it in the camps, while in "Compassion," a Holocaust survivor imprisoned by her Arab husband drowns her granddaughter to protect her from future suffering. Liebrecht's recurring themes are Holocaust survivors' lives in Israel half a century after the catastrophe; women's experiences as wives and mothers; the tensions between Orthodox and secular Israelis; and the relationships between individual Arabs and Israelis.

Informed by feminism, Liebrecht often describes women struggling against their marginalized status in patriarchal Israeli society: in "The Road to Cedar City" an Israeli woman, mocked and humiliated by her husband and son during a trip in the United States, asserts her independence by making contacts with an Arab wife.
