Summary/Abstract: The paper raises the question to what extent and in what ways migrational processes have an impact on women’s emancipation. It examines individual motives and models of women’s resettlement in contemporary global society. Evidently, only part of the analyzed migrational movements are directly related to breaking away from traditional patriarchal forms of dependency. Whether and when migration leads to emancipation depends, on the one hand, on structural framework conditions, and, on the other hand, on the interests and individual experience of female migrants.
