About the author
Rose Gollup Cohen
5 books11 followersRose Gollup Cohen (1880–1925) was an author. She grew up in a village in Belarus (then part of Russia) and immigrated to the United States in 1892. She attended classes at Breadwinners' College at the Educational Alliance, the Rand School of Social Science, and University Extension at Columbia University.
In 1918 Cohen published her autobiography, Out of the Shadow: A Russian Jewish Girlhood on the Lower East Side, which was well-received and appeared in French and Russian as well as English.She also wrote five short pieces published in New York literary magazines, and three published in Philadelphia magazines, between 1918 and 1922. One short story of hers, "Natalka's Portion," was reprinted six times, and appeared in Best Short Stories of 1922.
She died under mysterious circumstances, perhaps a suicide, and Anzia Yezierska wrote a thinly veiled short story about her, called "Wild Winter Love" (1927), that ended in suicide.
