Book excerpt: While European immigrant women in the U.S. as a group have received more academic attention than women from other regions of the world, and more than native women of N. America, there has still been a tendency to deemphasize, and even ignore, their contributions to this country. This book provides a new look at the experience of European immigrant women in the U.S. The collection is restricted to women who made their contributions to American society since the American Revolution and who are now deceased. Many well-known women are included in this volume, as well as biographies of many lesser-known women. Annotated bibliographies included.
