"Blood"
A short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer

Set in 19th Century Poland, "Blood" is the story of Risha Ehrlichman, a rabbi's wife, and a woman who continually breaks one barrier after another in her quest for personal fulfillment. Her ultimate challenge, to God himself, because no mortal seems strong enough to offer a worthy opposition, is both admirable and chilling.
