title: [Migrant women and informal networks].
abstract: The role of women in the process of international migration is analyzed, with particular reference to immigrants in Italy.  "The article emphasises the active role immigrant women often play especially in the social field.  Many a time the women are the ones who make up family, friendship and community links in the receiving country.  These informal networks, so important for single migrating women, encourage immigrant people to become part of the host society." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
