- Description
- In this ethnographic portrait the author adapts the concept of social reproduction to examine the shifting gender roles of tens of thousands of Dutch Protestant women who crossed the Atlantic from 1880 to 1920 to make new homes in the United States. Examining the domain of the home as well as the related realms of education, religion, healthcare, and worldview, Sinke discerns women's contributions to the creation and adaptation of families and communities, pointing out how they differed from those of men. A parallel analysis of the United States and the Netherlands as developing welfare states provides a look at what Dutch immigrant women left behind compared to what they faced in America regarding healthcare, education, and quality-of-life issues.
