Out of the Nest Polish Women Immigrants in Canada in the XX century

Summary/Abstract: In the introduction to her book the author states that “Out of the Nest tells the story of the twentieth-century Polish women who left their home country and moved to Canada, a country completely foreign to them, to start new lives as immigrants.” This authorial description provides a good point of departure for more detailed observations, beginning with the fact that Jarochowska-de-Kosko’s book allows the rare opportunity to engage in Polish-Canadian migration discourse. This, together with a limited availability of studies devoted to the situation of women as immigrants, especially in the period immediately following the Second World War, makes her study a pioneering work.
