| "Daughters of the Levant" recounts the peddling and entrepreneurial activities of the Syrian-Lebanese women who immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. |
    
|
| The early Syrian-Lebanese immigrants came to America mainly in search of economic prosperity and pursued peddling as their main occupation. Peddlers were traders who carried items in notions cases and traveled across the country selling items door to door to American homes. The Syrian-Lebanese women, in particular, excelled at peddling and initiated various entrepreneurial activities as they settled into communities and assimilated within American society. |
