How do women grapple with the ideals of American womanhood?

PROMPT: The experience of women who immigrate to the United States is in no way universal. The reasons for leaving, the families left behind–each individual has a unique story. Yet Ko asks us to examine how the role of gender in the context of immigration surrounds/impacts the agency of the immigrants who leave their homes for a new American life. How do women grapple with the ideals of American womanhood? How do they exert their power and their voice as both women and foreigners? Note: I currently have a thesis [attatched below], but if you feel like there is a better argument to be maid, then do whatever you think is best! “Through the protagonsit Polly Guo, Lisa Ko explores how gender and immigrant status restrict the mobility of minority peoples and leads them to the same outcome: restlessness.” – Body Paragraph One: how gender and immigrant status restrict Polly in China – Body Paragraph Two: how gender and immigrant status and gender restrict Polly in the US – How the limitations of gender and immigrant status ultimately lead to restlessness (not feeling settled) *the thesis has to be clear, specific, and argumentative*
