| Although women participate in every human migration, more actively in some than in others, they have been ignored by migration research for a long time. However, migrating women or women in migration processes, whether as stayers or movers, are no longer invisible. Analysing a sample of passenger lists from Bremen to New York and the Census of the United States of America in the year 1910 will give new inside in female migration over long distances, from the Habsburg Monarchy to the United States of America, at the first decade of the 20th century. While women accounted for roughly 40 % of the total immigration in the second half of the 19th century, since 1930, by contrast, women have dominated migrations to the United States. Inhabitants of the Habsburg Monarchy had already started migrating to North America from the 18th century onwards, but in the decades preceding the outbreak of the First World War there emerged a new type of migration. Particularly in the first decade of the 20th century, Austria-Hungary became a major source of migrants to the United States of America. The proportion of women who took part in this great overseas migration varied by ethnic background and type of migration. The unmarried, young, and independent migrant was female, since more single women than men from the provinces of the Habsburg Monarchy decided for a transatlantic move. Although migrant women wage earners in the United States, like in Europe, clustered in very few female-dominated occupations, their possibilities to earns ones living changed after they went overseas. While domestic service was the most important and most exclusively female occupation in Europe, the demand for factory "girls" increased in the USA and more and more Polish, Czech, Jewish, and German women were occupied in textile factories and garment production. Especially for the daughters of the migrants the transatlantic move raised their chances to climb up the social ladder... | |
