Description
In terms of marriage, work, educational achievement, and upward mobility, Irish women were very different from, and much more successful than, other female immigrants. Diner describes that success in detail, but her primary emphasis is on the qualities that enabled Irish women to prosper in a new and challenging world.Tags

Diner focuses on the experiences of Irish women, both in Ireland and in the United States as they made their way across the Atlantic. Diner provides a rich treatment of the lives of these women, detailing their working, living and loving conditions. We see their strengths and weaknesses exhibited in their conduct. Diner avoids both harsh criticism and tender loving hagiography. This is a fine reference work.
