 Women writers such as Yente Serdatzky and Fradl Shtok, found a limited degree of recognition for their work but ultimately were out of step with their male literary peers and came to an impasse in their writing careers.Shtok, at first known for her poetry, especially for being among the first Yiddish poets to write sonnets, garnered disappointing reviews for her collection of short stories ("Gezammelte ertseylungen", 1919) that were innovative in the way they incorporated the subjectivity, including erotic desires, of female characters.Certain male writers also did not associate with a particular literary group, or did so for a short time before moving on to other creative ethics.
