Migration is a multifaceted phenomenon that plays a critical role
in today's world, yet there have been few attempts to look beneath
the surface of the mass movements of people. Particularly, the
changing face of migration is becoming more feminized, with women
increasingly moving as independent or single migrants rather than
as the wives, mothers, or daughters of male migrants. Yet, in
literature on migration, the voices of women are still silent. This
creates an urgent need to advance academic research on female
international migration by examining women as independent migrants.
Immigrant Women's Voices and Integrating Feminism Into Migration
Theory comprehensively documents the experiences of immigrant women
across the globe and the important theories that define their
experiences. The chapters give firsthand accounts of women speaking
about their own experiences on migration and topics associated with
women and migration. This book aims to give women their own voice
and to stand apart from previous literature in which male relatives
spoke on behalf of immigrant women to tell their stories for them.
While highlighting topics on women in migration including feminism,
gendered social roles, first-person narratives, and the female
identity, this book is ideally for professionals in social science
disciplines as well as practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students wanting to expand their knowledge on
women and migration, gender violence, and women empowerment.
