'I've Never Dreamed It Was Necessary to Marry!' : Women and Work in New England French Canadian Communities, 1870-1930
Description
Essay on women's labor in French Canadian immigrant communities in New England. Explores and qualifies the idea that, for women, migration could be equated with social and economic liberation. From the text: "The ways in which these women and girls perceived the options available to them as migrants in New England cities, and took full advantage of them, suggest that for many Québécois migrant women in the decades around 1900, the United States indeed represented a land of opportunity and possibility" (p. 56).
