Book Description
First published in 1927, now public domain in the US and Canada (original edition cover art). The power of Anzia Yezierska's “Arrogant Beggar” lies in its brilliant exposure of the class tensions inherent in this American charity tradition. It follows the fortunes of the young narrator, Adele Lindner, as her early idealization of the Hellman Home for Working Girls turns into cynical disillusionment.
