What kind experiences would men and women have along their immigrant journeys to the United States? Would different events or hardships motivate men vs. women to leave their homelands? Would the work or other elements of their lives differ once they arrived in the United States based on their gender?

In your first post of at least 300 words, and based on your reading of Chapter 3 in our textbook “Immigration during the Late Nineteenth Century”, as well as your reading of the documents 11-12 in the text, the commentaries, and your review of the linked online sources, explain some aspects of the immigrant experience that differed based on an immigrant’s gender. You may focus on one [or two] of the immigrants whose story is revealed in one of our textbook’s documents 11-12 , pp 124-129, or on an immigrant’s story as explained in one of our online resources, but be sure to place your ‘exemplar immigrant’ in historical context of what was more generally experienced by immigrant men or women [and, of course, you can note that race and class also play factors in that immigrant man or woman’s experiences] What kind experiences would men and women have along their immigrant journeys to the United States? Would different events or hardships motivate men vs. women to leave their homelands? Would the work or other elements of their lives differ once they arrived in the United States based on their gender?
