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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnzia Yezierska \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in a small town in Russian Poland sometime in the 1880s.
