UNKNOWN, Tamara

Abt 1870 -

• Name	UNKNOWN, Tamara
  Birth	Abt 1870	Russia
  Gender	Female
  Occupation	Took over the “business with the Russian peasants from the surrounding villages.” when her husband died.  [1]
  Death	Russia
  Notes	Up to now, I have not mentioned anything about Mamma’s Mother [Tamara] because I cannot say much about her. She was like any other Jewish woman of that time. She was not educated because Jewish education was for men. But she had one qualification – she was very smart. In town, if they wanted to compare some women in cleverness, they used to have two sayings. “She is another Tamara.” Or, “Would you like her to be another Tamara?” I think this is proof enough that Mamma’s mother was a clever woman. She was, under the circumstances, then quite comfortable. [1]
