Daughter of the Shtetl: The Memoirs of Doba-Mera Medvedeva

Daughter of the Shtetl: The Memoirs of Doba-Mera Medvedeva

Daughter of the Shtetl is an unusual memoir by an uneducated but sharply observant Jewish woman. Through the eyes of Doba-Mera, we experience the class divisions in shtetl and synagogue; pogroms and wars; working conditions in sewing shops; revolutionary circles around 1905; as well as aspects of everyday life such as education, courtship, housing, food, and illness.
