As it moves through her life, we see this towering artist and her art form emerge, observing how Kaminska navigates the perilous move from shtetl to city, stages illegal performances in unlikely venues around the Russian Empire, and eventually earns the exultant acclaim of her public. The memoirs richly disclose the texture of everyday life for working Jewish women and all the grit and hard-won glamour of backstage (or in her case, back-barn\/barrack\/barroom) life. An extensive introduction and notes by Mikhl Yashinsky provide historical context and an appraisal of Kaminska's epoch-making talent.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636885541022,"sku":"UBD-9781350321076","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350321076.jpg?v=1774398703","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350321076","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
