Opening with an autobiographical essay, ‘Mostly About Myself’, this 1923 collection gives voice to Russian-Jewish immigrants caught between Old World parents and the America they long to belong to. Rent, sweatshop work, college classrooms and tenement kitchens are the settings; the hunger to be heard is the constant theme.
Raw, impassioned writing from one of the first immigrant women to make the Lower East Side her literary territory. Download the free EPUB.
