What met them was a completely new world \u2013 an American consumer society which gave them the opportunity to form a new identity and find freedom. Many of them later returned home to Norway, and brought American customs and a new way of life, shaping Norwegian society in a more modern direction. Through intimate and heartfelt stories from six of the women, combined with unique archive footage, we get an insight into their lives at the time. They each tell the story of their grand life journey with humor and wit. The documentary film sheds light on timeless topics, such as social control, women\u2019s liberation, migration, and the American dream \u2013 topics that are still highly relevant today. This is the last chance to hear these women tell their own stories, which makes this documentary both touching, entertaining and historically valuable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Special Introduction by Director Gunhild Westhagen Magnor and Book author, researcher Siv Ringdal 9-9.15am.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5456,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1553","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5456"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1553"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1553\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1881,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1553\/revisions\/1881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cc2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
