It's strange to me that this book isn't required reading. It touches on so much from workers and woman's rights to the life of immigrant Russian Jew's in New York City. One of my favorite books of all time.
This was a great read for a cold and rainy Saturday, and did a good job of describing the Jewish immigrant in the turn of the century NYC, and how so many lost their faith.
This is a vivid narrative of an immigrants life during the days of sweatshops. The story is compelling, in particular the struggle with remaining faithful.
Picked up this book some time ago somewhat randomly & wow!!!, what a hidden surprise. What a wonderfully written, moving, & engaging book. Absolutely wonderful. Likely one of the best books around on the immigrant experience, class issues in the US, women's rights, & many other profoundly important
Read for Jewish American History course. Good time period piece.
Book 24 of my #2017readingchallenge is Rose Cohen's "Out of the Shadow: A Russian Jewish Girlhood on the Lower East Side," a book that is written by a relative of my friend Marci @marcirobin - it is her maternal grandfather's aunt.
