About this event
The Scandinavian immigration to the United States has been a theme of popular fiction on both sides of the Atlantic for over one hundred years. The portrayal of women in these novels reveal the contested legacy of the mass migration: poor immigrant, courageous radical, or pious tradwife? Sarah Reed is an Assistant Professor of History at BYU where she teaches immigration and family history. Her research areas include German-American studies, Scandinavian-American studies, Mormon literature, and women writers. Part of the Global Women's Studies Colloquium. Event Flyer
