Experiences of Mexican Immigrant Women Living in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area

Despite the increasing flow of women migrating from Mexico to the United States and the recognition of this phenomenon in the most up-to-date literature, only a few studies have included the voices and experiences of Mexican immigrant women in particular. A central aim of this project is to make visible the experiences of a sample of Mexican women living in the Washington metropolitan area. This project is a first step towards understanding their challenges and opportunities, but it is also an effort to learn more about what brought them to the United States capital, a question that is especially interesting because Mexicans are less likely than other Latin American groups to settle in Washington.
