Wedded to the Cause: Ukrainian-Canadian Women and Ethnic Identity 1891-1991 - Swyripa, Frances

Clean, tight, unmarked; very small nick to back side edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In all likelihood, too, if she had ignored the advice of the immigrant intelligentsia to avoid stares and ridicule by changing into 'clothes of the world' before reaching North America, she had suffered indignities for the peasant attire that made her an exotic sight on a Canadian railway platform. She had travelled a thousand miles through the rock and forest of the Canadian Shield and crossed a plain that appeared almost as unpeopled and endless. Fresh from her first trial with the myriads of mosquitoes that immigrants would say sucked more Ukrainian blood than the landlords they had escaped, she now looked out on the mixture of prairie and bush that was to be her new home.
