Indian Immigrant Women and Work

More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of independent Indian women who have migrated to the US, this book delves into their work trajectories and assimilation processes. It highlights the often-overlooked narratives of these women against the backdrop of macro trends in immigration, work, and feminism. By utilizing historical records, unpublished gender-disaggregated data, and personal interviews, the authors reveal the significant and longstanding history of independent migration among Indian women, challenging the perception that this phenomenon is predominantly male-driven.
