| Summary |
In this striking autobiography, Puah Rakovksy (1865-1955) tells of her experiences as a Jewish woman in later 19th- and early 20th-century Poland who broke with her traditional upbringing to become a professional educator, Zionist activist, and feminist leader. Her passionate account offers unprecedented entree into the life experience of East European Jewry in a period of massive social change. |
