Book

From the other side : women, gender, and immigrant life in the U.S., 1820-1990 / Donna Gabaccia.

Gabaccia, Donna R., 1949- (Author).

Summary:

This long-needed study of women "from the other side" examines the experience of women immigrants as they came to the United Stated from all corners of the earth. Donna Gabaccia traces continuities that characterize women of both the nineteenth-century European and Asian migrations and the present-day Third World migrations. Foreign-born women, even more than men, experienced sharp tensions between communal, familial traditions and U.S. expectations of individualism and voluntarism. She also discovers strong parallels between the lives of foreign-born women and the women of America's native-born racial minorities.-- Provided by Publisher.
