In Rebecca Traister’s,” Big Girls Don’t Cry,” she took readers on a journey of the primary elections and the Presidential Election of 2008. She opens up with blatantly stating her support for Hillary Clinton. The author then recognized the contributions of the spouses of political figures by adding a twist. If they were known for being in politics, they were illustrated as a very homely and friendly person. If they are used to supportive roles, they are highlighted for their actions or contributions to the campaign. . President Clinton is quoted on his views on becoming a first gentleman as if h knew Hillary would win. Michelle Obama is referenced as a dim wit. Interesting enough, Palin’s family is not necessarily mentioned on their take in
She was an active participant in her husband’s campaigns. “I made appointments for speaking, recruited speakers, answered newspaper attacks, contracted for the printing and distribution of circulars and sample ballots,” she recalled, “and more than all, kept a brave face to the foe and a smiling face to the almost exhausted candidate.” Her presence on the campaign trail—an unusual place to find a woman then—drew fire from William’s opponents. She would later recall, “I did not stop to think what a change this was for a young woman considered only an ornament and household mistress.” As William’s congressional secretary in “Washington City,” she managed her husband’s correspondence and speeches while writing columns for two local newspapers
This source is influential for readers because they are able to learn about the struggles of race, gender, and capitalism in the 2008 election as well as economic equivalences. Jean Ait Belkhir is an associate professor of sociology at Southern University at New Orleans and University of New Orleans, and argues that gender and race matters regardless if you are a Democrat or Republican. Belkhir demonstrated that candidates in politics are usually white males, older of age, and upper class men. Throughout Belkhir articles, the reader will notice that the nation mindset is devoted that women do not belong in any authority regarding the government. However, Belkhir mentions two women who have changed the nation’s mindset, Sarah Palin and Hilary
Abigail Adams and Dolley Madison are commonly known as wives of Presidents of the United States; however, their contributions go much farther than their titles. Both women made great strides in what we call public relations today and used what they had available to their advantage.
On February 18, 2017, I attended a play production at the Bean Brown Theatre located at Shelton State Community College. The name of the production was The Real Queen of Hearts Ain’t Even Pretty. As a spectator of the play, with no foreknown knowledge of its content, I enjoyed the play. It had many comedic components.
For women criticism by the public was common because they were not home with their children. When looking at the loss of privacy, it is more definite when someone’s campaigns turn ugly. Especially single women feel this threatening of loss of privacy. Women are always getting asked questions that pertain to the home and family. Nothing seems to sell like the privacy of women politicians (page 29). When women fail, they tend to take it personally. Madeleine struggled in 1981 when she first ran for governor and lost. She said she was devastated. Women struggle to make losing less personal and tend to let it affect their lives.
Thousands of Democrats flocked to Philadelphia in July of 2016 to witness Hillary Clinton accept her party’s nomination and officially become the Democratic Party’s candidate for the President of the United States. To those in attendance and those watching from their homes, the highlight of the weekend is arguably Michelle Obama’s remarks advocating Hillary Clinton’s pursuit of the presidency. The current First Lady’s careful and pointed diction convey her feelings of praise and approval towards the party’s nominee, and the ease through which she appeals to pathos couples with her powerful call to action to strengthen the message she is communicating, rallying people together in support of Hillary Clinton.
Women today can vote, run for office, and have many interactions with politics, but it took a lot to lead up to this point. Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, played an important role in women’s political life. Known as the “Presidentress”, Dolley hosted many female social political parties called “Mrs. Madison’s Crush” or “squeeze”. At Mrs. Madison’s parties, information was often traded, informal channels were established, and political access was gained. She was a main asset to her husband and understood the function of the White House and what it took to have the power of being in presidency. Dolley was a form of gateway for women in her circle to gain access to political issues and to have their thoughts and
After reading Stage 2, there has to be a relationship between the epigrah and the girls’ development. The epigraph shows the difficulty of adjusting into the new culture while the girls in stage two shows what each character develop over time while having these kinds of difficulty on their sides.
While the public still wants the first lady to be peaceful and diplomatic, they also expect her to take an aggressive stance on certain political issues, particularly issues relating to children and family. Gould writes that “Nancy Reagan’s controversial eight years revealed how much the popular expectation of First Lady activism had become embedded in political culture” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). After an initial two years of political indifference, “[Nancy Reagan] and her advisers turned to a ‘Just Say No’ campaign against illicit drugs to validate her credentials as a First Lady with a real cause” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). The aforementioned situation with Nancy Reagan exemplifies a modern truth: to be a successful first lady, political activism is not a choice, but a necessity.
Throughout this article Brady uses ethos, logos, and pathos to illustrate her opinion that the wife does too much in a family. Brady connects with her audience by relating to what was expected of them back in the 1970’s. She states reasons to why she wants a wife and lists what she says a wife would do for her.

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been one known for her inspiring speeches and her commitment to women’s rights. In Manchester, New Hampshire, she is seen once again standing up for women and for this country by opening the public’s eyes to disrespect Donald Trump has shown for us. Throughout the entire speech the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos, are all used effectively and powerfully to get her message across. She mainly targets the audience of empowered women but she also addresses the effect that voting for Donald Trump will have for men and women. Through the rhetorical appeals and the tone, she sets for her audience, Michelle Obama campaigns for the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Since the second youngest Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was elected, his spouse, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, also got attention, and has volunteered for lots of charitable events. However, in an interview, she said, “I’d love to be everywhere, but I can’t. I have three children and a husband who is the Prime Minister. I need help. I need a team to help me serve the people.” (LAVOIE) Because of this, many people realized that she is surrounded by bulging schedule that she can’t even handle her children. Although these days, people who try to understand women’s point of view is tend to be seen open-minded or considerate people, the idea that she should receive extra staff to help her promote the nation is an improper solution that can cause many problems.
Admittedly, Hilary Clinton has spoken around the world about the challenges that women have faced. However, it is the continued struggle of American women that inspires and fuels her passion and fight for equality in this male-dominated culture. Also, while married to bill Clinton who was actively involved in women’s right, Hilary advocated for a standard of equality that embrace all colors and cultures. . Clinton establishes ethos when she states, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn
First I just want to say that if I didn’t have to watch this movie for class, then it wouldn’t normally appeal for me to watch it. I didn’t have anything against this movie; I just personally do not like watching movies that have a negative vibe like it did at the end of this movie. I know that this movie was supposed to be based on the true story of Teena Brandon, however, after watching this movie, I looked up the true story and it turned out that the movie was really faithful to the actual real life events that occurred.
After I read this article, I was shock. I was shock about the fact that woman-on-woman harassment was a huge problems in the U.S. As the Workplace Bullying Institute stated, “Thirty-five percent of Americans reported being bullied at work.” Also, female bullies are more frequently than male bullies. There are many reasons to cause woman-on-woman harassment. For example, women’s appearance, women’s unapologetic use of power, and the sexist environment. Unlike the man, men are usually help each others out. I believe the cause of woman-on-woman harassment in work is jealousy in lower level workers and negative stereotypes to the lower level in higher levels workers. Even though they are not willing to be
