This chapter traces the roots of East European Jewish women’s Socialism, feminism and labor radicalism in the Eastern European towns and cities where they were born during the late 19th century. It then follows Schendierman, Newman, Lemlich and Cohn as they moved to New York City and became involved in labor and women’s subsistence activism.
