<DIV><DIV><B>This tale of a Russian immigrant is a &ldquo;gripping and gritty memoir [and] a eulogy for a combative, self-conscious, often violent American working class&rdquo; (<I>Los Angeles Times</I>)<I>.</I></B><BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV>Jennie Persily, with her fiery red hair, buxom figure, and bohemian spirit, is a strong-willed fighter for justice and a passionate lover. A Russian-Jewish &eacute;migr&eacute; who organizes unions in the sweatshops and on the mean streets of Chicago during the thirties and forties, Jennie frequently brings her son&mdash;the book&rsquo;s author, Clancy Sigal&mdash;along to rallies and on dangerous missions, often eluding union-busting hit men.&#160;</DIV><DIV><BR /> As unsentimental, intelligent, and brazen as its subject, <I>A Woman of Uncertain Character </I>is a candid look into a childhood shaped by a feverishly brave, sexually open, and very complex mother. Sigal gains a deep, satisfying understanding of the woman who made him, and the world that made her.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV></DIV>
