oWhile YezierskaOs writing stands in sharp contrast to the quantity of fiction by middle- and upper-class white women writers so prevalent in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth, what is particularly interesting about Arrogant Beggar is that it focuses more directly on class than do most of her novels. Katherine StubbsOs introduction is comprehensive, helpful, beautifully written, and convincingNa model of scholarship and insight.ONLinda Wagner-Martin, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
