We must look back in history and beyond the country’s borders in order to understand immigration phenomena but it is not necessary to go all the way to the first waves of H. sapiens leaving Africa (roughly a little more than 100, 000 years ago) since causes remain the same: a need to find better living conditions and opportunities to thrive and survive.

Climate changes and, using the resources locally were the main reasons to migrate in the early days of our history when we were still nomads. Later on, as we became sedentary these motifs were replaced by military, ideological and religious persecutions.

From wikipedia:
Ellen Henrietta (Swallow) Richards (December 3, 1842 – March 30, 1911) was the foremost female industrial and environmental chemist in the United States in the 1800s, pioneering the field of home economics. Richards was the first woman admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and its first female instructor, the first woman in America accepted to any school of science and technology, and the first American woman to earn a degree in chemistry.

Ellen was a "pragmatic" feminist, as well as a founding "ecofeminist" who believed that women's work within the home was a vital aspect of the economy.
