| Summary | "Comrade Yetta" by Albert Edwards is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Yetta Rayefsky, a young girl growing up in a bleak environment as the daughter of a kind-hearted second-hand bookseller. Set against the backdrop of the early labor struggles among garment workers in New York City's East Side, the novel explores themes of poverty, gender roles, and the fight for social justice. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Yetta's formative years spent in her father's bookshop, filled with a diverse selection of literature. Benjamin Rayefsky, her father, is a poignant figure who imparts wisdom to Yetta through stories and discussions, emphasizing the importance of love and loyalty. However, tragedy strikes when Benjamin is injured in a mob attack, leading to his eventual death, which leaves Yetta and her family in dire financial straits. The opening chapters vividly capture Yetta's transition from a sheltered childhood to the harsh realities of life as she enters the workforce in a sweat-shop, setting the stage for her struggles to find both personal happiness and a voice amid the turmoil of her social conditions.
