Bread Givers was written in 1925 but is still pertinent. Sara Smolinsky is one of 4 daughters of Polish Jews who immigrated to New York. There's not one healthy marriage in the group. Yet, her miserable mother and sisters insist that her ultimate life goal has to be marriage and babies while she insists on education. (Sound familiar?) As her father keeps insisting, a woman without a man is nothing. Well, that's not exactly right. They're workhorses, that's their job, and they take it on. How forgiving these women have to be. The father refers to himself, and husbands in general, as breadgivers, but the book shows who is in charge of nourishing the family if not themselves. ( )
