Now that we know history, it is clear that women who immigrated to or lived in the West had distinct experiences of womanhood than their counterparts in the East. For instance, according to professor and historian Virginia Schaffer, women from Mexico and Spain who immigrated had more chances than their counterparts from the east, "everything from the ability to vote to equal pay for women teachers to more liberal divorce laws." demonstrating how Mexican and Spanish women and their Pueblo settlements were gradually accepted in the west. However, the truth is that respect in Mexican and Spanish-speaking communities is rising regardless of this. Strong evidence suggests that other racial communities were going through the exact opposite. The aspirations of the west were "meaningless and over-glorified" for Native American and Chinese women, according to historians Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Laura Woodsworth-Ney, who placed them at the bottom of this progressive era. The truth is that these groups had identity rifts brought on by neglect and references to being "separated" from society as a whole. The natives were victims of genocide and prejudice from their Spanish counterparts, while the Chinese were victims of women's suffrage combined with sex work. It's important to note that these communal women were able to present themselves as social lites, but this was frequently accompanied by a bad start or end. Tzu-Chun Wu cited Margaret Chung, a Chinese woman, as a success story for Chinese women on the west coast, but her ascent to social prominence was entwined with identity manipulation that portrayed her as the sex labor to which Chinese women were forced. Victoria Maria, a Spanish convert who was a social elite with her rights to land and other respectable social characteristics, is another example of a woman who achieved success in her community. Her status as a member of the elite, however, was later downgraded to "just an Indian" after her Scottish partner wasted her legally acquired land. which, as a result of the social positions natives held in these communities, were socially prescribed as being less than human. 40/50 words response/ thoughts to paragraph above.
