Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-09 00:00:00 ron jaworski This book has lots of good detail and insight on the Irish Bridget. But why must academic writing be so bad???? The redundancy and awkward prose grated on me at times.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-15 00:00:00 Hugo Marques Too many footnotes and strays from the title!! I wanted to read about Irish immigrant women as per the title, however 3\4 of the way through the author analyzed other ethnic groups of no interest to me. Also I thought the material in each chapter was repetitive. Overall seemed like a book of collections of footnotes from other authorities on this subject. Not recommended!
