"This book beautifully interweaves social structure and individual agency in the lives of almost 100 foreign born women. It is a delight to see such meticulous and caring work done by the authors who are committed to giving us a glimpse into the lives of these women as they ground their research in a solid intersectional theoretical framework." NATALIE J. SOKOLOFF, CO-EDITOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AT THE MARGINS: READINGS ON RACE, CLASS, GENDER AND CULTURE
“Immigration and Women offers a rich and detailed accounting of the lives of immigrant women in the United States. Chapters that describe the gender-specific consequences of immigration policies are especially illuminating and a must read for scholars and policy makers interested in undertaking comprehensive policy reform in the future.”
—KATHARINE M. DONATO, CO-AUTHOR OF CONTINENTAL DIVIDES: INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION IN THE AMERICAS“Relying on a wealth of ethnographic interviews, the authors construct a thoroughly researched and engagingly written collective portrait of adult female migrants to the United States, ranging from victims of sex traffickers to independent entrepreneurs and highly qualified professionals. Determinedly descriptive, the work is punctuated by numerous individual case study illustrations and informed by a vast range of sociological theory.”

IMMIGRATION AND WOMEN: UNDERSTANDING THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE · by Susan C. Pearce, Elizabeth J. Clifford, and Reena Tandon
Will the authors be doing any readings or signings in Montgomery County, MD or in the DC area anytime soon?
Dear Karen,
We would love to do something in the DC area. Our only plan so far is something this summer with Empowered Women International. But we are open to something before this, if we can figure out a date, venue, etc. Do you have ideas of someone who might organize it with us, and/or a good venue? Thank you for your interest!!! Just a note that this is a university press book, with some theory and scholarly substance, but we wrote it accessibly, especially when we recount the women’s stories. Best, Susan
