Abstract
This article discusses the trajectory of scholarship as it has moved from the “immigrant women only” approach, one closely aligned with sex-role theory, to one that examines both men and women as gendered actors in migration and that recognizes key institutions as distinctively gendered. Early proclamations of immigrant women's emancipation have been reassessed, and the consequences of immigrant women's employment on gender equality in the family no longer seem as straightforward as they once did. New arenas, such as gendered transnational communities, the geographical and spatial contours of immigrant occupational sex segregation, and the inclusion of youth and children in gendered analysis of immigrant communities are also changing the landscape of the gender and immigration literature.Keywords
