| Summary: |
A study of "those adult Finnish women who emigrated to Canada between 1890 and 1930", based on the author's 1968 York University Ph. D. thesis. "THIS PIONEERING STUDY of Finnish immigrant women in Canada from 1890-1930 sets out to answer a number of questions about the lives and experiences of Finnish women in Canada. The book gives a penetrating and uniquely descriptive look at the social, cultural, and economic conditions in which the women lived in the early years of the 20th century. It is valuable addition to our knowledge of ethnic and immigration history. Defiant Sisters has become a classic and is mandatory reading for women's studies, immigration, and social history students. Despite its solid scholarly research the book allows Finnish immigrant women to come alive and the reader learns to appreciate their tenacious spirit and to love their defiance."--Publisher 2003 ed. |
