First published serially in the Yiddish daily newspaper di Varhayt in 1916-18, Diary of a Lonely Girl, or The Battle against Free Love is a novel of intimate feelings and scandalous behaviors, shot through with a dark humor. From the perch of a diarist writing in first person about her own love life, Miriam Karpilove's novel offers a snarky, melodramatic criticism of radical leftist immigrant youth culture in early twentieth-century New York City. Squeezed between men who use their freethinking ideals to pressure her to be sexually available and nosy landladies who require her to maintain her respectability, the narrator expresses frustration at her vulnerable circumstances with wry irreverence. The novel boldly explores issues of consent, body autonomy, women's empowerment and disempowerment around sexuality, courtship, and politics.

Karpilove immigrated to the United States from a small town near Minsk in 1905 and went on to become one of the most prolific and widely published women writers of prose in Yiddish. Kirzane's skillful translation gives English readers long-overdue access to Karpilove's original and provocative voice.

Good exfoliating soap bag
Size: Small Size
Pretty good soap bag. Does take a while to get it to foam soap, maybe I'm doing it wrong? Great scrubbing.

Perfect for travel!
Size: Small Size
Love these and perfect for my bar soap. European hotels love their body wash refillable bottles but I like my soap! This keeps my bar soap clean and prevents me from dropping on the hotel shower floor. Also makes it nice for packing as it takes up less room than a soap dish. Last a long time! Use this all the time on monthly trips and is just like new. Good buy!

Great soap saver
Size: Small Size
The string came off the first day I used it. But other than that it’s great. Has a nice exfoliation to it. Not not very soft at all. But this will help your soap last you a little longer

New find for me and I love it
Size: Small Size
I guess I never realized what a soap bag was before. I put a small brick of soap in it and it is WONDERFUL for shaving my legs!! It suds up just enough so you can shave, but keeps the soap from getting messy.

Good soap bags
Size: Small Size
Great soap bar bag. Later is good, fit is big but that's fine way better than being too tight or small. Great value.
