Book Synopsis
In this ethnographic portrait, the author examines the shifting gender roles of many Dutch Protestant women who crossed the Atlantic from 1880 to 1920 to make new homes in the United States. Lively and absorbing, the stories of their lives are told in their own words as preserved in personal letters and diaries.

ADVANCE PRAISE "A highly readable, analytic and nuanced account... effectively blends the voluminous factual evidence with the latest theories, especially the concept of social reproduction, which Sinke modifies in an imaginative way." -- Robert P. Swierenga, Research Professor, A.C. Van Raalte Institute, Hope College
