Books like Rosa by Marie Hall Ets


Rosa is the life story of Rosa Cavalleri, an Italian farmer’s daughter who arrived in the United States on the Castle Garden dock in 1884, during the peak of nineteenth‑century immigration. The book follows her journey from a silk‑making village in Lombardy to Chicago, where she endured a harsh marriage, a forced migration to a Missouri mining town, an unassisted birth, and an escape from a husband who sought to compel her into prostitution. Compiled by social worker Marie Hall Ets, who met Rosa at the Chicago Commons settlement house after World War I, the narrative captures Rosa’s vibrant personality and storytelling spirit, offering a vivid, richly detailed account of the immigrant experience in early twentieth‑century America.
