Through Jinny's experiences as a carrier, Zangwill explores themes of identity, class, and gender, embedding her story within the broader context of societal change and the search for belonging in a rapidly modernizing world. Israel Zangwill, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century literary scene, was deeply rooted in Jewish culture and advocacy.
