After crossing the ocean, the true encounter with the new country awaited—a meeting that, for many, was brutal, lonely, and full of trials. In this episode, we follow women who arrived in the United States with hope and dreams, only to be met with coldness, cholera, unpaid labor, and a language they didn’t understand.Through powerful stories from Gjertrud Rumohr Haug, Lina Svåi, Anna Slinde, Guri Rosseland, and Margretha Nesheim, we learn what it was like to be new in a foreign society. They struggle through illness, rejection, the Civil War, and brutal Indigenous uprisings—yet also find warmth, community, and a new voice in American life.Script: Inger-Kristine Riber and Reidun HorveiCo-editor: Katherine Jane HansonNarrators: Reidun Horvei and Ragnhild GudbrandsenSound Design: Inger-Kristine RiberSupported by: Fritt Ord
