Mathew Powers’s Reviews > Erin's Daughters in America: Irish Immigrant Women in the Nineteenth Century > Status Update

I can't believe how many people like this book. The erroneous nature of her arguments are astounding .. I continually mark in the book her own contradictions as well as clear errors in logic. I'll finish it in time, but it would take a miracle for this book to be good .

It's so pro-Victorian"ish" that it's making me want to ignore almost everything being said. However, this is a lead-in to the actual argument of the book so I will await and see...
