"And so, in her seventies, she sat down to recreate the world of her childhood, a world structured around strong parental authority and deep religious commitment. When it first appeared in 1908, her memoir received rave reviews for its sensitive and faithful depiction of the Jewish world of the nineteenth century. A second volume devoted to her years of married life quickly followed." "Now available for the first time in English translation, Wengeroff's memoir is the earliest record of Eastern European Jewish life written by a woman. Pauline spreads out before us the richness of Judaism and Jewish folk life, the joy and pain of marriage and motherhood, and the personal losses that she, as a Jewish woman, had suffered at the hands of great historical forces."--BOOK JACKET.
