ABSTRACT
The chapter highlights the different meanings and practices of citizenship in various settings and contexts through a systematic focus on women's everyday life experiences. It explores how gender, mobility, globalization, work, family, migration, community and political activism shape the meanings and practices of citizenship for women in everyday life in different contexts. The chapter addresses the difficulties that women encounter and the strategies they use to negotiate economic and social citizenship and it gives that migration movements have been and are still at the heart of the global economy and the political reorganization of the world. Evangelia Tastsoglou provides a rich sociohistorical analysis of the gendered, racialized, age-defined, and nation-of-origin specific pathway to citizenship in Canada for Greek migrant domestic workers in the 1950s and 1960s. The chapter presents the business strategies of female migrants in Spain in order to achieve inclusive social citizenship.
