MLA formatting question

Oct 3, 2014 by coreyants
I'm writing a paper on this novel we read in my WS class. When I quote the author, do I have to put her last name every single time I quote her or just the first time I do? I think you only have to put her last name the first time, but not 100% sure.

For example: “Even in the Torah it says, leave your father and mother, and follow the man. Better listen to me. Come, let’s get married in court” (Yezierska 50).

Second quote: "If a man wants a wife, he looks for one who can cook for him, and wash for him, and carry the burden of his house for him” as he suggests that is a woman’s obligation to provide for her family and that is her sole duty (63, 64).

I don't have to repeat the author's name every time right?

only repeat name if you are quoting multiple, different authors
so if (Yezierska is the only author ur quoting you only need to do (Yezierska 50) once
