*author, what significance IS 13 or what IS the significance OF 13, sorry guys i swear i'm not a total idiot, just a little brain dead from studying for finals"
Does anyone know why Julia Stein wrote I organized a band of twelve immigrant girls rather than sixteen women, which is what most of the biographies of Bessie Abramowitz list. Does anyone have any theories?
