"In "The Free Thinkers," Ida is a factory forelady, a "free thinker" seeking true freedom in a man's world. The second novella, "The Idealists," is an epic allegory of the United States itself, chronicling one family's dissolution over a half century."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Layle Silbert's stories trace struggles and joys of lives overlooked. In The Free Thinkers: Two Novellas, she gives these lost lives a new voice, recovering in exacting detail the world of newly arrived Eastern European Jews in turn-of-the-century-America. Silbert's stories chronicle their arrival in Chicago and New York, and follow them as they trade Yiddish and Russian for English, find work in factories and Jewish newspapers, attend Zionist meetings, and struggle toward the promise of freedom and happiness.
