All I Could Never Be

Notas y descripción extendida

By Jewish Author Anzia Yezierska . A nice find. Quite rare. Brewer, Warren & Putnam, First Edition, 1932. Printed and bound in the U.S.A. by Chas. H. Bohn & Co. About the author: " Yezierska's fiction focuses on Jewish immigrant life at the turn of the century, and she sees herself as giving voice to her people. Her work features female protagonists and explores the transition from "greenhorn" to American; the struggle against patriarchy, poverty, and restrictive Jewish practice; the striving for acceptance, independence, and prosperity in the New World; and the cultural and personal gain and loss inherent to assimilation. Yezierska pays particular attention to the hardships of poverty for women saddled with child care and crowded conditions, and utterly financially dependent on husbands. In contrast to the ineffectual or exploitative Jewish immigrant man, her fiction frequently features a liaison with a sophisticated WASP or assimilated Jewish man who functions as the protagonist's mentor."
