Immigration and women : understanding the American experience / Susan C. Pearce, Elizabeth J. Clifford, and Reena Tandon.
Immigration and Women is a national portrait of immigrant women who live in the United States today, featuring the voices of these women as they describe their contributions to work, culture, and activism. Highlighting the gendered quality of the immigration process, Immigration and Women interrogates how human agency and societal structures interact within the intersecting social locations of gender and migration.
