Book Description
Robinson (education, Teachers College of Ball State U.) explores the educational experiences of Irish, Polish, Italian, and Jewish immigrant women and girls in Chicago during the first half of the 20th century, hoping to shed more light on the impact of gender, alongside class, political, and ethnic differences, in the attitudes held towards schooling in the United States. Looking particularly at "Americanization" efforts in educational institutions, she argues that female experiences were fundamentally different from those of men.
