“How They Made It in America: Success Stories and Strategies of Immigrant Women: from Isabel Allende to Ivana Trump, to Fashion Designer Josie Natori, Plus More,” by Fiona Citkin, Ph.D. Bloomington, IN: Archway Publishing, 2019. 288 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4808-7183-0 (paperback), $19.99.

 

In “How They Made It in America,” author Fiona Citkin brings a deep understanding to her study of first-generation women immigrants who, like her, came to America in pursuit of something more, with a determination to succeed. As her profiles illustrate, successful women immigrants vary widely in ethnicity, social status, education, profession, aspirations and age at arrival. Yet, while separated by differences in background, customs, lifestyles and beliefs, these prominent women immigrants share one vital trait: the ability to adapt to the distinct American culture and reinvent themselves.

Fiona Citkin, Ph.D., came to America from Ukraine as a Fulbright Scholar, studying languages and cultures at Kent State University. With her experience as a professional educator, two doctorates, fluency in three languages and her multicultural perspective, Dr. Citkin consults and speaks on interculturalism, diversity and inclusion at major corporations and colleges around the world.
