Project: “Migrant Feminism: Norwegian-American Women’s Transnational Experiences.” Holm will examine Norwegian-American women’s perception of the United States — and the American Women’s Rights Movement in particular. She will explore how women conveyed their views to their networks both in Norway and America and how they contributed to a new public sphere that changed Norway and the Nordic countries.
