The Bread Givers, immediately transports the reader back in time to the tenements of New York's Lower East Side during the early 1920's and the struggles of young Jewish immigrant, Sara Smolinsky. Caught between her old world values and her deep desire to become an "American", Sara's plight towards independence is heart-wrenching to say the least. As Sara tries to break free from her dominating Rabbi father and Jewish traditions, she is soon faced with similar barriers in the form of greedy land...more

Bread Givers is the story of Russian Jew immigrant Sara Smolinsky and her desire and struggle to achieve the pinnacle of what it means to be an American; the opportunity to invest one's self in individual pursuits.
As with any book I read through the foreword and introduction, written by Alice Kessler-Harris, and she tells of how she discovered Yezierska when she was a grad student and became entranced by her. I was intrigued by her passion for the text and encouraged further to read (I also had a deadline, the test was in one day and I hadn't started the book). Kessler-Harris uses the adjective "powerful" to describe the writing style, and it was appropriate. I became so engrossed in the book that I finished in one day (not a huge feat, the book is only 297 pages).

After the first chapter I was hooked. I felt the hunger of her family as they scrounged for food and warmth, the shame of being impoverished, and the singular hope of Sara's brave spirit to live free from the shackles of oppressive patriarchy. I wanted to throttle her sisters and I found Yezierska's adjective of "dumb" accurate to describe the broken, spiritless, acquiescence of her sisters and mother. In our in class discussion the professor mentioned the "necessary cooperation of women for any paternalism to exist" and I hoped silently that at least a few of the women in the classroom fully understood the comment. Line after line I found myself silently railing against the self entitled patriarch, and while I understand that much of his faults were enabled by social constructs I could not completely sympathize with his position. I was reminded of my own grandfather who had as much fault in his own death as the diabetes and strokes that were listed on his death certificate, the same sense of imperial entitlement. I was also reminded of him when Sara comes home from college to find that her mother's feet have rotted away from gangrene, and her refusal to have them removed to save her life. I had to take a few moments to reflect on my own past. I celebrated her Sara's strength of conviction to continue with her studies in the face of hunger, isolation, and discouragement. I felt like I was beside her in her dingy basement room covered in filth and lit by candle. I celebrated when she sees through the guise of the predatory suitor, I laugh knowingly as she falls for improbable crushes and I enjoy her triumphant completion of college and return to New York as a teacher. Her resolution with her father and stepmother left me a bit confused, perhaps I am a bit too hard. Then again I see much of my own family in the enabled, manipulative, and yet dependent father. So many emotions and so much commentary on social constructs.
The fact that this book was written in the 1920's and that it was not immediately recognized as a masterpiece of literary work, says much about American society in the turn of the twentieth century. Perhaps it is my American self that cries out for Sara to come among us and take her place as one of the brave and free. I hear her desire to stretch her wings to their greatest span and to live without imposed restraints of social obligation, because that is what it means to be free to live as you will. Understanding that celebration of the self is a celebration of life. Anzia Yezierska, I take my hat off to you. Well done madam, well done.

Bread Givers, by Anzia Yezierska is a compelling book, not only in its vivid descriptions of life in Manhattan during the 1910s-1920s, but also its look into an Orthodox Jewish family, and its standards. It is a coming of age story, of the youngest of four daughters, told through her narration.

The familial patriarch is Rabbi Smolinksy, and his wife is Shenah, who is in awe of him, despite her nagging manner. His interactions, decisions and doctrine influence his daughters, Fania, Bessie, Mashah,...more

This book has good points and bad points for me. First of all it is historically accurate from what I've read about Jewish Immigrant life from the 1920's. It is a touching story and inspirational for all people who have dreams. This book shows that with hard work and perseverance you can fulfill your dreams and overcome any obstacle. The only things that I did not like about this book were the characters. The father is a very insensitive man towards his daughter’s feelings and seems like he onl...more

Bread Givers is about a family whose father is a scholar and insists that the women of his family support him. This is not unheard of in Jewish life, but it is definitely not part of the mainstream Judaism. It saddened me to see that the mothers and daughters in the family seemed very ignorant of Jewish life. The daughters leave and marry the horrible husbands the father has ordained for them and maintaining a home that has any elements of Judaism doesn't seem to have been important to anyone. E...more

"Wow." That was how I felt after I first finished this novel. I regret selling the book after I bought it for one of my classes. It was the first time I read a book in a long time about immigration. The novel follows the life of a Jewish girl who comes to America. She lives in New York City and struggles with her faith.

Most novels that cover the loss of faith focus on tragic loss. Meanwhile, Sara is unsure about her faith due to tradition. At the start of the book, Sara is only ten years old and...more

Breadgivers tells the tale of Sara Smolinsky trying to find her place in the world, similar to how Jim and Antonia must find their place in the world as in My Antonia. Sara doesn't want to be married off, and doesn't want to give all her wages to her strict Jewish father. She views his way of life as the old way, and knows there is something more out there for her. He demands that she serve him, and yet she grows tired of his demands. He uses his religion to try to make his wife and daughters obey him. He constantly quotes scripture about how women are supposed to be subservient. He buys a store, and soon realizes that he has been scammed. He later gets mad at Sara for selling something for two cents less than what the charge is supposed to be. At this point, we see the first real act of rebellion. Sara says, "Do you make such a holler on me over two cents, when you, yourself, gave away four hundred dollars to a crook for empty shelves?” (Yezierska, 150). He asks how she dare questions him, and soon she decides to leave. She decides she wants to be a teacher. She wants to know what is out there, beyond the begging streets she grew up on. She is soon faced with the harsh reality that becoming a teacher isn't as easy as she thought. She is determined, however, and soon goes to college, where as frustrated as she becomes, she perservers, with the dean even saying, "[Y]ou, child—your place is with the pioneers. And you’re going to survive" (Yezierska, 258). After she becomes a teacher, she goes home and finds her family still down-trodden. Through the finale of the book she struggles with wanting to be independent, as well as going the more traditional route of returning to take care of her family. In the end, she merges the two by inviting her father into her home. She realizes there is value in both the old and the new, and still has met her desire with knowing reality. Sara shunned the old ways of simply making a wage to support her father, or to marry for money and stability, and embraced the new way of making it on her own. She found her true self, which is one of the components of modernism, and broke free of the social restraints of her culture. But in a way, Sara seems to revert back to her old self, as being subservient. It almost seems as if her father conned her into taking care of him, and putting aside the independent woman she had become. This is the only part I found to be less modernist and more traditionalist, but overall, the quest of the true self and the breaking free of restraints embraced the culture of modernism. (less)

After being super pissed off through the first 140 pages of the father figure's tyranny, I began to have more patience for Bread Givers.

The most interesting thing was keeping in mind that it was not historical fiction but rather a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1925. So I think the reason that it is widely-read and -taught is that it had been a pioneer in English-language immigrant fiction. Tension between the Old World and the New, between generations--family vs. personal identity, o...more

This was my absolute rave-about-and-recommend-to-everyone favorite book in my early twenties because it explored all the things I cared about most: falling in love, a burning ambition to write, and Judaism. At the time, I said I wanted to be Anzia Yezierska, but in mirror image; whereas she ran away from Yiddishkeit, I was embracing it. I wanted to portray my world and choices just as poignantly as she. That's still my ambition, but now that I'm older, I see many more flaws in Anzia Yezierska, n...more

Vivid storytelling of the lives of an immigrant family, Polish Jews, on Hester Street c.1910. Father, mother and four daughters. This is NOT Little Women though there are some parallels, but that's not what interests me. I see Bread Givers as a study in abuse of power.

A story of success and love, Bread Givers didn't come off as a cliche, partly because of the difference in time period and cultural background.

It's a feminist book, though you won't really appreciate it until you've made it 2/3 of the way through the book and realize that none of the men in the book thus far have been anything but jerks, swindlers, sexists, uber-religious conservatives and all around morons.

Characters: Typical for a big-family drama of this sort. There's Ms. Independent, Ms. "Burden-Bearer", Ms. I-care-about-nothing-but-my-looks, Ms. Gentle Spirit. The mother is overemotional.

The father is something ELSE. He's every negative stereotype for a religious conservative you can find. Stupid, grossly incompetent, emotionally abusive, and a massive hypocrite on almost all levels. But this is no hard-working rabbi, friends and neighbors. This is a "scholar", who laughs at the idea of doing any kind of work to support his family. No, the women have to work to support HIM, and give him the best food at dinner, all while hearing day in and day out about how women are below men and have NO lives save for serving men, and CAN'T EVEN GET INTO HEAVEN without men. The father says money matters when he has it, and says that it doesn't when he loses it. He says poverty doesn't matter (on his end) but rages at the idea of his daughter's marrying poor boys that he can't fleece out of money, as he tries to do with Bessie's lover. He gets old REAL QUICK.

Plot: The first half of the book we see the idiot father marry his daughters to men they hate. When they say so, he ignores them. When the suitors turn out to be morons, the father blames his daughters for not knowing, when HE was supposed to know. When the narrator and main protagonist, Sara, points this out, the father just tells her to shut up.

Other events of idiotic hilarity ensue. The father gets money and buys a store from a guy going back to his homeland. The store turns out to have no supplies or goods in it. The father COULD'VE avoided it by having his wife there, but decided not to. When they DO get goods later on, the father argues with a customer who wants to buy bran cereal. "Bran? Bran is for animals! We have no such nonsense here!" The mother gets the bran, but it's too late, the guy has already left.
The drama is melodramatic and overdone, just the way I like it.

The second half of the plot finds Sara in college, having run away from the tyranny of her father. Most of the drama here is in carving out a half-decent living, while reconciling the decision with her family, and struggling to fit in at college. You can almost feel the breath of fresh air as the father's voice is removed from the chapters (though not forever of course).
Things get steadily better for Sara, but not so much for the family. That's all I'll say.

Climax: It's a life novel, so there's no earth-shattering climax.

Prose: It's good. Immensely readable.

Overall? It's a good book, with some really irritating characters. It'll give you an authentic account of living in a tenant in New York City in the early twentieth century, dank and dirty. It's still worth reading.(less)
