"A fine choice for general U.S. social history courses as well as for classes that focus on American immigration or women. Readers ... will appreciate the organization, clarity, and lack of academic jargon... With its symmetrical design and well-written case studies, Peasant Maids ably demonstrates that gender, culture, and class all contribute to women's multiple experiences of acculturation and urbanization."-History "Eight well-crafted essays by five authors... The fundamental richness of this work rests in the fact that the authors coordinated their approaches, methodologies, and analyses... This book is a model of historical scholarship and analysis."-Journal of American Ethnic History
