She say Yerierska was born in Russian controlled Poland , in the last eighteen-nineties to a family of seven children (Zaborowska. ix). Yexierska's family continued to practice their old belief systems once they arrive in America. Her father was a Talmudic scholar who did not work and was accustom to being supported by his community, which included his family. In America they found things quite different from the old world, it was definitely a shock to them when they realized they were responsible for their own needs. .
Yeziebska was the youngest, and the only one not responsible for going out and working, to support the family. She very soon became dissatisfied with the poverty they lived in, or so she thought it was the poverty, at that time she didn't realize the struggle was within herself and who she was, not with her surroundings. She found herself very different from her sisters, she could not take orders from her father without questioning him. This closely relates to Sara in Bread Givers, the tension and conflict between the young woman and the parents are the reason for the books subtitle: " A struggle Between the Father of the Old World and a daughter of the New" (Zaborowska 118). Anzia was intense and explosive, loudmouthed, impassioned. Where it came from, this extraordinary rebelliousness of sprit, no one knew (Yezierska viii). She moved out of the family home and went to college at night while she worked in the sweatshops in the daytime. Sara from Bread Givers, sets her goal to become an educated American Woman through a self-reliant struggle (Zaborowska 117). In college she found a voice within herself, where she could express her frustrations. She felt, she never quite belonged among the dominant culture or the culture she was born into, she was always caught between the two worlds. She choose the path to assimilation through being a teacher, which monetarily satisfied her desires , but teaching did not satisfy a burning desire inside of her that she found she could not put out, but only quench through her writings.
