A Speech On Women's Rights

In her report, Veronica Loveday writes about Women’s Rights Movement, during World War two, and many restrictions women faced. Women’s rights movement in the U.S. begun in the 1960s as a reaction to the decades of unfair social and civil inequities faced by women. Over the next thirty years, feminists campaigned for equality, such as equal pay, equal work , and abortion rights. Women finally gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution in 1920.

Furthermore, She provides a strong tone that evaluates the potential of a woman. She presents her speech with facts and with confidence and passion. Her tone is trying to motivate young women to act up and take action. Along the way in her speech she makes up a sarcastic tone by claiming that “[women]do not have executive ability, orderly minds, stability, leadership skills, and they are too emotional”(Chisholm, 149). The use of this tone provides affirmation that conveys young women to feel capable of doing anything that men can do. These words don’t define the potential of women nor their abilities. Women are strong, women can take anything, women are smart, women have leadership. Just like Chisholm, women have a voice to speak up and advocate for a change. Throughout her positives tones, she also presents an emotional appeal to the youth who are going to college and are struggling. In reality, some women don’t get the same opportunity as others.“...when a young woman graduates from college…she is likely to have a frustrating and demanding experience ahead of her”(Chisholm, 149). Women face challenges with their eligibility when applying to jobs. Looking for a job is not as easy for women, it takes time and persistence. Unlike men, who are seen as

These women feel as though “men were guilty of having kept all the joys and privileges of the earth for themselves” (796). Sanders does not understand -- from his perspective, the only privileges men have are laboring themselves to an early and miserable death, or the privilege of killing and being killed in war. In his childhood, it appeared to him that women had all the privilege; the women he knew stayed home, read books, ran errands in town. Sanders acknowledges that that his vision is not entirely correct, that women have been oppressed for many years and their grievances with his gender are valid. But he does not exactly retract his argument -- he instead introduces his last dichotomy, and with it his final and most nuanced point: that when the women at his college thought of male privilege, they did not think of the men he grew up with, but rather men with money. They thought of lawyers, bankers, and stockbrokers; not the poor who “grew up in dirt poor farm country, in mining country, in black ghettos, in Hispanic barrios, in the shadow of factories, in Third World nations” (797). In closing, Sanders places himself on what he calls the “side” of women, identifying himself an ally and an equal to them.

“Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are humans rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard,” Hillary Clinton once spoke. Hillary Clinton was appointed to speak at the Women Plenary Session at the 4th United Nations World Conference in 1995. In her speech, Clinton speaks to shine a light on the unfair treatment and to educate on what rights women should have, as well as to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take control of their own destinies. This powerful message is directed to the audience of various world leaders at the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session in Beijing, China. In her speech, “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights,” Hillary Clinton uses emotion to educate, persuade, and make the audience of world leaders feel something, known as pathos. She also repeats words and phrases to put an emphasis on certain injustices, which evokes the audience to want to make a change for women’s rights, making the speech effective.

Women have always been fighting for their rights for voting, the right to have an abortion, equal pay as men, being able to joined the armed forces just to name a few. The most notable women’s rights movement was headed in Seneca Falls, New York. The movement came to be known as the Seneca Falls convention and it was lead by women’s rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton during July 19th and 20th in 1848. Stanton created this convention in New York because of a visit from Lucretia Mott from Boston. Mott was a Quaker who was an excellent public speaker, abolitionist and social reformer. She was a proponent of women’s rights. The meeting lasted for only two days and was compiled of six sessions, which included lectures on law, humorous

Chisholm starts off strong by using logos as her first persuasive technique. This is important because, starting off with logical thinking sets the tone as a serious manner. She addresses the speaker at the House Joint Resolution with confidence. In her speech she explains that the discrimination against women based on sex alone is so common that people think it is normal and natural to do so. In Farber’s book he explains these issues as fixed gender roles, where men would work and women would have motherly duties or wife duties. Shirley Chisholm also says “ the Constitution guarantees due process of law in the 5th and 14th amendment, but the applicability of due process of sex distinctions is not clear.” Which means all legal proceedings will be fair and reasonable. However, women are not able to be chosen for some juries, women also receive higher penalties for the same crimes committed by man. She also explains that State labor laws that apply to only women such as, limited work hours, and the weight lifted should also apply to men. Chisholm also uses logos by pointing out that the selective service law would have to include women as well as men. However, women are required to serve where they are properly fit as do

For centuries women had had to bow to men they were taught never to speak unless called upon or spoken to. That their sole purpose in life was to be a homemaker; a servant to the men in their lives fathers, brothers, sons. As time progressed women began to fight for their right to receive equal rights, education and vote. But that wasn’t enough in the year 2013 women still made eighty cents to every man’s dollar but that all changed one day. Women who were sick of being oppressed had risen up against the male chauvinism within society of the united states.The first measure was to take all men out of all positions of decision-making power immediately, and of any kind of social, professional position whatsoever. The men of society were

On September 5, 1995 in Beijing, China, first lady Hillary Clinton delivered a speech on women’s rights at the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. As Clinton stood in front of an audience of thousands she proudly stated “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all.” The target of the conference was to inform the audience of government officials, leaders of organizations and the public on the problems women throughout the world face. Clinton’s speech argued how women were not treated equally and that women’s rights should be equal to human rights. Throughout her speech, Clinton provided harsh examples of the abuse, rape, death and discrimination women face, to evoke sympathy from the audience. Her overarching goal was to get action among government officials and motivate women across the world to take control of their lives and not suffer from these circumstances. Clinton uses a mix of pathos, ethos, logos, and anaphora to deliver a definition argument on why women’s rights are human rights.

The United States of America was built on the unfair labor of others. The United States used slaves to produce an abundant amount of cotton in the South. Many mill owners started using children to work in the factories. Later on, many mill owners employed young, unmarried women to work in the textile mills, straightening cotton threads as the cotton entered the water-powered looms. The United States has been developed on wrongful labor of others by racism being the effect of slavery, lack of education being the effect of child labor, and unfair woman rights being the effect of the labor of Lowell females.

Sojourner Truth’s “Ain't I A Woman” Speech is a very symbolic address to women’s rights of her time. Among the eyes of many, women were not held to the same standards as men when it came to working, voting, and property rights. Truth felt this speech would be a great way to get people to accept women as being equal to all others. Truth’s speech highlights how the people’s understanding of what a woman can do is very limited and the many different context in which women lives are different. Truth wants the world to know that women are just as intelligent and strong as everyone else (men), and they should be held to the same standards and have equal rights. Although women's rights have progressed over the years, optimism regarding the furtherment of women’s rights is still prevalent among communities.

There are certain rights that are set up by the United States government to serve and protect the citizens of the United States of America. The Constitution was set up to all the people to be a free people, and laws were set up to establish ground rules of respect and equality. When domestic violence occurs, the rights of the victim are violated and the protection that is needed is not acknowledged. The amount of impact Domestic Violence has in Society has become more and more recognized over time. The main issue in collecting information to form statistics is difficult, as many victims of domestic violence choose not to report the incidents that occur within their domestic situation.( Frieze, I.H., Browne, A.)

Women’s rights have been a continuing political polemic since the beginning of time, having to fight for things such as the right to vote.

Just as Martin Luther King, Jr. knew “through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed,” (King 227) in the fight to end segregation, the same goes for women’s rights. King learned through his time spent trying to achieve justice that if people do not actively try to carry out their goals, then nothing will be done. Women have always been seen as inferior to men in the society we live in. Unless women are able to break out of these roles they have been placed in, these deeply rooted problems will not be

America was built on the idea of ¨All men are created equal, ¨ but this belief has not always occurred in this mongrel nation. Unfortunately today people are stereotyped by their race and/or gender. All over the world people still believe they are superior which causes many civil liberty issues. In America currently, civil liberty issues have not been resolved because women are not equally represented in political positions, women are not paid the same as men and discrimination still occurs due to different races and genders.

Women today continue to change the stereotypical expectations created from society. Although there is still in unbalanced weight of equality between men and women, they are slightly improved compared to history. In the 19th century women had limited access towards an education, property rights, and many more. Clarina Howard Nichols approaches this inequality through a speech in the Second National Woman’s Rights Convention, in 1851. Within her outspoken speech, she implements etho appeals by referring herself to “a daughter”, and “a mother” throughout the speech to relate to all stereotypes, metaphors to emphasize the limited freedom, logo appeals to highlight the wrong in the controlling laws, rhetorical questions to spur intended thoughts,
