Opis

Models for Movers is a unique collection of Irish migrant women's oral histories spanning three waves of twentieth-century emigration, 1920s, 1950s, 1980s. Each woman describes how she created a new life in America, often in the face of multiple challenges there. The women inspire us to have the courage to act. The women's voices speak to and against the regulated silences surrounding both emigration and the reality of Irish women's lives. They also provide a multigenerational tapestry of experience into which women leaving Ireland today can weave their stories. This book used an oral history approach to documenting Irish emigration history - an approach considered "ground-breaking" at the time This book is included in Morgan Llywelyn's Essential Library for Irish Americans: An instructive, opinionated, annotated list of books for anyone in America who is Irish or Irish at heart Models for Movers contextualizes the oral histories with a robust gender analysis of Irish and American societies during the three migration waves.
