Soft cover. Condition: New. A timeless American novel about an immigrant girl growing up on the Lower East Side who dares to challenge her Orthodox Jewish family's narrow conceptions of a woman's place in the world, featuring a new foreword by the author of the New York Times bestseller Unorthodox―the basis for the hit Netflix series―and cover art by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck A Penguin Classic The youngest of four daughters in a family that left Poland in the 1920s for the crowded tenements of New York City's Lower East Side, Sara Smolinsky has seen her sisters resign themselves, under their rabbi father's iron fist, to loveless marriages and empty futures. They are "bread givers," working to feed the family while their father studies the Torah―according to which, as their father reminds them, a woman without her father or husband is "less than nothing." But Sara hungers for more. In defiance of her father, she breaks free, escaping home to see what the American dream holds for her in this poignant coming-of-age tale and striking portrait of feminist rebellion.

Broadside. 8.5x11 inch broadside, printed by Jocelyn H. Cohen using a Chandler and Price platen press. Very good. Stated limitation of 250 copies; not numbered. A selection from Yezierskia's 1925 work, reflecting on her sense of relief as an impoverished Jewish immigrant to have the prospect of a rented room all to herself. Helaine Victoria Press, which took its name from the middle names of founders Jocelyn Helaine Cohen and Nancy Taylor Victoria Poore, published broadsides, posters, and other formats of work, but was best known for its women?s history postcard series. It started with an offset press in Santa Monica but switched to an 80-year old cast iron letterpress, noted by Cohen as ?the method which was standard when we were trying to get the vote.? The press later moved to Indiana, and was ultimately donated to the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York, where the letterpress now resides.
