The Alexandrian Women

Overview

Young mothers and sometimes also their daughters have vastly travelled from Vipavska valley to Egypt in 20th century. Their families were poor and needed money. So they went to Alexandria and worked as wet nurses and helpers for wealthier people. They often left their own kids alone with their fathers, only taking care for them with gifts and money. Many never returned and even if they did, they were not well accepted.
