Abstract
Our research is interested in the influence of transatlantic immigration in a particular area of Greater Buenos Aires (Valentín Alsina). In this context, we decided to focus on the migratory trajectories and the integration into the host society of the members of a family of Italian sisters who arrived to the area after 1950. We used oral sources to contemplate the influence of gender conditioning factors in the different stages of the migration process, on various issues such as the decision-making to emigrate, marriages, work, and family life.
