This article discusses migratory gender roles within a north/north movement context. Using the case of older Norwegian women migrating to England while young, actively making migration part of their lives, it combines life course theory and migration theory about transnationalism, and presents three migratory life trajectory typologies. These are developed from life course interviews, based on class and gender role differences. One, upper-class based, is about transnational marriage as a key to leaving a small Norwegian community and becoming a ‘European’ housewife. Another, working-class based, is about using an au pair job as a stepping stone to migration and marriage, doing family-life-adapted paid work in Norwegian workplace ‘niches’. The third, middle-class based, is about using the migratory process for strengthening a professional identity. The article shows how a feeling of transnational ambiguity is exceeded the more the migratory gender role is about realising one’s own potentials, moving towards gender equality.

挪威妇女20世纪移民英国的经历：

本文讨论了北/北运动背景下的迁徙性别角色。以年轻的挪威妇女在年轻时移居英国为例，积极地将移徙作为其生活的一部分，它结合了关于跨国主义的生活历程理论和移徙理论，并提出了三种迁徙的生活轨迹类型。这些是根据班级和性别角色差异从生活历程访谈中发展而来的。一种基于上流社会，是关于跨国婚姻的关键，因为这是离开一个小的挪威社区并成为“欧洲”家庭主妇的关键。另一个以工人阶级为基础的工作，是要使用互惠生工作作为移民和婚姻的垫脚石，在挪威工作场所的“壁ni”上做适合家庭生活的有偿工作。第三，基于中产阶级，是关于使用移民过程来加强职业身份。
