EASTERN EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES

In Chapter 8 we learned about the Eastern European  Jewish immigrants. This article provides background with how many Eastern European Jews came to the United States. It states Of all Jewish immigrants to the United States from 1886 to 1914, forty-four percent were women. Women who immigrated to America from Eastern Europe discovered their lives stamped by the economic, social, and cultural impact of their migration. I liked this article, because it talks about women.

  1. This article is really interesting. I find it amazing how many women in Eastern European immigration came compared to other immigrant groups.
