This memoir by Puah Rakovsky (1865-1955) presents the experiences of a Jewish woman in late-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 insights into the life experience of East European Jewry in a period of massive social change. Published in the original Yiddish in 1954, the work appears here in English, annotated and with a historical introduction by Paula E. Hyman.
