Referring to immigrants, Oscar Handlin stated: "Allowed to settle in peace, every variety of man has been able to make a place for himself in American life." Briefly explain the ways in which Handlin's language alludes to the gender dimension.

Handlin's language alludes to the gender dimension by using the phrase "every variety of man." This language implies a focus on male immigrants and their ability to succeed in American life. By specifically mentioning "man," Handlin's statement overlooks the experiences and contributions of female immigrants. This language suggests a gender bias in the discussion of immigrants and their place in American society, as it fails to acknowledge the diverse experiences and challenges faced by immigrant women.
