题目材料：

For many Irish American women in the nineteenth century, domesticity, in the sense of exclusive devotion to the home, was an unrealistic and unwelcome ideal. After 1850, many Irish immigrant women settled in New England's textile towns and constituted a large percentage of the workforce. They participated in boycotts, strikes, and other forms of economic protest. American-born Irish women embraced occupations like teaching as careers, and these women generally experienced significantly higher occupational mobility than Irish males in the United States. Women's wages were crucial to the economic health of Irish American households and helped support Irish families in the United States and Ireland. For such women, a life removed from the public world of wage labor and capitalist production was hardly a reality.

The author mentions "Irish families" primarily in order to

A.challenge a stereotype concerning the economic role played by Irish American women
B.emphasize the importance of Irish American women's paid labor
C.suggest the difficulty of economic conditions in Ireland during the nineteenth century
D.contrast the career paths open to American-born Irish women with those open to Irish-born immigrants
E.indicate the closeness of nineteenth-century ties between Ireland and the United States
