The Birmingham-Pittsburgh Traveler

Welcome to the Woman's Page.

This is a forum for many of the issues important to women during the Great Migration. Because issues that directly affected men, like work conditions and social activities, often received frequent coverage during the Migration, the Woman's Page devotes itself to discussing the cultural influences that were integral to shaping women's lives during this dynamic period. If you are interested in learning more about the development of women's cultural history throughout the various stages of the Migration, click on the links below.
