Cohen examines shifting patterns in the family roles, work lives, and schooling of two generations of Italian-American women, paying particular attention to the importance of these women's pragmatic daily choices.



Trade Review

Cohen has written a book that will be debated for years. Workshop to Office makes a valuable contribution to the growing study of Italian immigration and women's history.

-- Gary R. Mormino * Journal of American History *

Cohen joins scholars who seek to understand the role of gender in historical processes of group change....Through the lens of gender, she reveals important questions about the meaning of mobility in migration processes and the transformation of immigrant cultures.

-- Claire B. Potter * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *
