WHO?

About Shpitzle:

Shpitzle grew up in the very insular Satmar Hasidic community in the village of Kiryas Joel in a large family of more than a dozen children. She was given a very minimal secular education and was married in an arranged marriage at a young age. Soon after, she had a child. When her son was one year old she innocently began a blog which she titled after her customary head-covering headgear. The internet led her to a world of information that shattered her cloistered innocence and changed her life. After a difficult period of transition, she left the community with her son (and good sense) in tow.

She now keeps herself busy with work, school, being a parent (or two parents) and doodling, among other important projects. This leaves very little time for anything else that takes time — hence the abrupt ending of this bio.
