Traditional Roles and Modern Work Patterns Italian-American Women In New York City

Published:December 2010

Abstract
Traditional Italian society long followed gender-based societal patterns. Male and female roles were clearly delineated and integral to the entire family matrix. Such gender roles became part of the cultural baggage the Italian immigrants brought with them. Most Italian immigrants, arriving at the turn of the century landed and remained in New York City. Immigration helped to fuel the expansion of the American workforce and the sons and daughters of the immigrants filled the increasing number of job slots. When compared to all females, Italian Americans do not appear to have a significantly different pattern of employment. They are slightly higher in the executive and managerial category and slightly lower in the professional specialty category. Many Italian-American women internalized the values and beliefs they learned in their childhood. The current generation of women will develop strategies to negotiate their new emerging reality and may serve as a model for future generations.
