Abstract
Using a sociohistorical approach, this essay examines the changing roles of women of Italian heritage in the context of (1) subcultural (Italian) norms and values, (2) dominant (“American”) cultural norms and values, and (3) changing structural conditions (i.e., World War II, the labor market, and the women’s movement). Media reinforcement of dominant cultural norms and values is also addressed.KeywordsFeminist IssueEthnic DiscriminationItalian WomanEthnic HeritagePrime Time TelevisionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
