Picon became pregnant and delivered a stillborn
baby girl in August, 1920. She was devastated and felt
that she had failed Kalich, “dismally in what all
women do so naturally. In addition to my sadness at the
loss of the baby, there was the severe blow to my vanity.
When my doctors told me [I] could never bear another child,
the blow was severer still. Never again would I be so sure
of myself when Yonkel said, ‘You can do it, Picon.’ ”
