The debate over "new" immigrants - primarily those from southern and eastern Europe - that raged in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century was dominated to a surprising degree by representations of immigrant women. Whether intent on welcoming cultural diversity, Americanizing new arrivals, or stemming the flow of unwanted aliens, participants in the debate drew from the same well of female images to convey their particular versions of the immigrant "problem."" "Katrina Irving's close reading of novels by Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, Harold Frederic, and Frank Norris discloses the portrayal of immigrant women, especially immigrant mothers, as a reflection of larger cultural anxieties. In the wake of economic retooling and Fordist mechanization, Irving maintains, immigrants became feminized others against which native Anglo-American virility could be aggrandized.
