My Research shows that there pull factors that can be linked to the Immigration of Russian women in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century. This research explores the movement of Russian women in the United States on the period between 1870 and 1919.
How are the immigrants in the United States ?
The immigration of Russian women in specific, concerns the specific women who moved from Russia into the United States. An analysis of the immigration trends towards the end of the 19th century reveals the prevalence of a considerable amount of socioeconomic pressure on the Russian Jews, which necessitated their movement to the United States. Research brings out a number of push and pull factors as far as the movement of Russian women, specifically the Russian Jews into the United States.
The history of the Jews towards the end of the 19th century to the first quarter of the 20th century, which is the period in which the First World War occurred, denotes the instability of the Jews in the entire Europe region due to the forces from the Aryans, which completely blackmailed the Jews. As such, the Russian Jews are part of the Jews descendants who sought for refuge in Russia and, to a large extent, became acculturalized. However, full acculturation could not materialize due to variations in the social and cultural attributes of Russia and the political developments that later came up in Russia that is, the push and embrace of communism as the desirable political philosophy in the country. The Jews had spread in different countries in Europe, among them Russia, prior to the growth of the Nazi philosophy and based on the history of the Jews. Most of the massive movement of the Jewish women from Russia to the United States was witnessed since the end of the first decade of the 20th century as more pressure mounted on the Jewish population across Europe due to the developments that transpired into the First World War (Rita and Julian 283).

Why would these women come to the United States ?
As mentioned earlier, the immigration of the Russian Jewish women into the United States revolved around socioeconomic, political, and cultural push and pull factors. The factor behind the immigration of Russian women into the United States is the intense desire for, having existed in a culture that seemed oppressive to them. Among the push forces in Russia were the religious differences between the Jews and the Russians, which resulted in the persecution of women based on religion in most cases. Also, the women were mostly sidelined when it came to economic aspects of development and empowerment. Therefore, moving into a place that would allow them to freely practice their religion, besides offering them opportunities to empower themselves economically, was a critical issue. There were a lot of attributes of violence and oppression for both the Russian men and women in Russia, encouraged by the regime like the Nicholas II era. There was a lot of direct violence on Russian Jews, with the impact on women being rated quite higher than the impact on the men (Forbes, Lauer, Koonz and Sweeney 2-4). According to Rita and Julian (283-290), the choice of the United States for the Russian Jews women as a destination was a decision that was necessitated by other factors. Among the dominant factors that point to the immigration of the Russian women in the United States is the earlier movement of other Jews in the United States, mostly the Jews from German who fled from racial persecution. These groups of Jews had managed to settle in the United States and had established themselves there as an independent community. This enticed the Russian women, who were living under a lot of cultural, socioeconomic, and political pressure, amidst a regime that embraced a political philosophy that did not go down well with them (Forbes, Lauer, Koonz and Sweeney 1-4). The economic frustration that the Russians underwent during the late 19th century and the early 20th century was taken on the Jews by the Russians. Given the fact that the Jewish men had already left in search for better lives for their families, women who were left behind remained to be the subjects of oppression by the Russians. Based on the successful entry and settlement of most of the men in the United States, women had no option but to follow their husbands (Friedman-Kasaba 3-5).
