The pattern of emigration of women from Ireland to America in the last century reveals several interesting trends. Compared to other countries, more single women emigrated from Ireland, and afterwards developed careers as single women – many went into domestic service and school teaching. Service to the Church in the Sisterhoods was another important career for Irish women.
