AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this study Safia Haddad examines the role of women in the assimilation.of Syrian-Americans in Chicago. According to Haddad, assimilation is dependent on a family's economic success and domestic prosperity, which is dependent in turn on the contributions of female family members towards this goal. By helping out in the family business, or earning additional income outside the family, in addition to carrying out domestic work, women ensured their family's success and prosperity. Furthermore they earned increased respect by husbands which improved their position in the community. Women played a public role in the community and formed their own clubs for charitable purposes.
