Robinson (education, Teachers College of Ball State U.) explores the educational experiences of Irish, Polish, Italian, and Jewish immigrant women and girls in Chicago during the first half of the 20th century, hoping to shed more light on the impact of gender, alongside class, political, and ethnic differences, in the attitudes held towards schooling in the United States.
