Unterzakhn #[nn]

This graphic novel collects Leela Corman's acclaimed two-part story set in the early 20th-century Jewish immigrant community of New York's Lower East Side. It follows twin sisters Esther and Fanya as they navigate the constraints of their Orthodox upbringing and the harsh realities of the city, with one drawn into the world of burlesque and the other into the labor movement. The title, a Yiddish word for 'underthings,' reflects the story's intimate exploration of women's lives, bodies, and choices in a rapidly changing world.
