- Description
- Study of Italian immigrant women and their daughters in Endicott, New York, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the turn of the twentieth century, based on Italian and American sources and oral histories. Using gender analysis, the author shows that Italian women were not merely wives, daughters, and mothers who followed male kin, they were also labour migrants who made economic choices accordingly.
