Focusing on Jewish immigration to New York's Lower East Side from the late 19th century to post-World War II, the paper examines the transformative experiences of young immigrant girls. It explores how their roles within families evolved amidst cultural shifts and the challenges they faced in adapting to a new life. By contrasting their experiences with those in Eastern Europe, the study highlights the significant impact of these changes on their identities and the broader implications for Jewish and American history.
