Paper overview

• What were Cuban women like?

• The paper investigates Cuban movement to the US between 1880 and 2000

• The paper draws on evidence taken from Integrated Public Use Microdata Series at the University of Minnesota. This project, dedicated to collecting and distributing United States census data, provides machine-readable data extracts covering the United States from 1850 to the present.

• Contrasting the overall US population, the Cuban born population and the overall Hispanic born population, the paper investigates variables including race, gender, household composition, age and employment
