I completely agree with Ashley since I was also touched by some of the readings in Modern American Women. I also was upset at the way the young girl was treated by her father in "An Immigrant Daughter Awakens to the Possibilities of the New World". I always knew parents treated their daughters in such a harsh way at times, but it was very hard to see how harshly she was treated. I have to say if I was in her position I also would have left home. Though I did enjoy how she points out that she got in so much trouble for taking the girls word that they would get the 2 cents she owed when she says her dad had given away a lot more merchandise without any payment at all. - Elizabeth Frank | I completely agree with Ashley since I was also touched by some of the readings in Modern American Women.

| + | The account of the Young Immigrant girl reminded me of the conflict that still continues today - between the older generation of our parents and the younger generation of their children. Sometimes the rift in time and experience makes it impossible to understand one another, and creates a division so broad that some children and their parents are unable to reconcile. It seems that this conflict of generations is just another similarity between modern women and our predecessors. ~Juliann Boyles | ||
