À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode we see how expectations, love and the freedom to make choices became determining factors in the lives of Norwegian immigrant women. For some the next step was suggested in a letter—a picture, a promise, a hope. We hear about Lina Svåi’s simple praerie wedding and Inga Brekke’s marriage to a prosperous Scottish shopkeeper in Sioux Falls.
Through the stories of these women we see how marriage could be both a shelter and a burden, and the difficulties they faced navigating the opposing pulls of Norwegian duty and America freedom. At the center stands Oline Muus—a woman who challenged both husband and church in court, paving the way for Norwegian women’s rights in America.
