"This masterwork of American immigrant literature, set in the 1920s on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, tells the story a young woman's struggle to free herself from the traditional female role in an Orthodox Jewish family and society. Sara Smolinksy, the youngest daughter of a rabbi, watches as her father marries off her sisters into dire circumstances, and she vows to escape this fate. She leaves home, renting a room and taking a job as an ironer. Sara's rebellion and her struggle for self-fulfillment-for education, work, and a marriage based on love-resonates with a passionate intensity all can share. Now beautifully redesigned page with the previous editions and containing sixteen period photographs, Bread Givers is an essential historical work with enduring relevance. / Anzia Yezierska (ca. 1882-1970) emigrated from Poland to the United States in 1890.
