Pescata da un ventaglio di fotografie : La storia di Clara Z. sposa al seguito verso il Canada (1959)

This study examines the post-WWII matrimonial emigration between Italy and Canada through the oral history of Clara, a woman who emigrated from San Stino di Livenza in 1960, following her husband. Clara’s narrative, derived from an interview, challenges the traditional historiographic category of women who emigrate following their husbands. Her story reveals complexities beyond this category, highlighting her unique experiences working abroad and her motivations for emigrating. The study demonstrates that gender is a valuable lens for interpreting marital emigration dynamics, family roles, and work experiences.
