From there I'd planned to get to Dublin and then on to Galway, where, I'm told, I will find relatives--whose existence I have previously been quite unaware of--but who have nonetheless managed to acquire a hotel and are, surprisingly enough, getting on.

Even the few who have some education do not escape discrimination. Chicano women find that jobs as public contacts at airline ticket counters are rarely open; they are welcome as switchboard operators out of the public eye.
