Gender Equality For Women And Women

Women Goodwill Ambassador. She is speaking about the problem of gender equality and unequal pay for men and women doing the same work. Her purpose is to demonstrate to the audience that the problem affects both men and women. She is fighting for women’s rights, but also trying to persuade men and boys to step up and help the women fight by joining her campaign, HeforShe. Her primary audience is all the delegates and guests who listened to her speech at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and her secondary audience is men and boys all over the world. She appeals to ethos when she speaks about her own personal experiences with gender based assumptions from ages eight to eighteen in. She says her girlfriends dropped out of their sport teams in order to not appear so masculine. She appeals to pathos when gives the statistics on men’s suicide in the UK in order to tell men that gender equality is their problem as well. She is saying men also fear asking for help because they fear that they will appear un-manly. Watson’s speech is also structured by Monroe’s motivated sequence. She starts off her speech by speaking about her campaign and talking about how her experiences at different ages caused her to become a feminist in order to get the audience’s attention. She then tells the men and boys that gender equality is their issue too. This causes them to understand the need for change. She then formally invites them to help

After she established the bond, Elizabeth strengthens it with a promise and displays her own self-courage. Women in power were not always great leaders, and were seen as weak in war. To oppose the view of women being weak in war, Elizabeth uses pathos in her speech to present herself as not only a queen but a fighter as

During Elizabeth I’s reign, she was forced to face many stereotypes in England. In document 1, Knox expressed that women had no place to hold a high position of any form. This belief was prominent throughout the entirety of the 16th century. Many people doubted Elizabeth, justifying these criticisms through their

Elizabeth’s strength, independence, and her intense willpower to assure that her marriage is coordinated only by love demonstrate the feminist portrayal of Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s desire for

Elizabeth’s point of view in “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury” support her purpose by establishing a connection with her audience. In the beginning of the speech, Elizabeth acknowledges that even though she is a women, she defends her strength as a female leader. She will do anything to protect her country and will even take it upon herself to do so. Her main purpose is to persuade the troops that she is a capable commander that will fight with her soldiers. she use rhetorical devices to show her point of view and reveal her purpose by reminding her troops of a her devotion to the cause when she says “ my loving people”. Parallelism is used when she assures her troops that there will be victory because the will be fighting with the enemies

Elizabeth I, the Queen of England, ruled for 44 years after her 1559 coronation. Daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, she came to power after a separation with the Roman Catholic Church, but governed with much stability for the duration of her reign. During this time, men were seen as vastly superior to women in general. Add that to the fact that most of England’s monarchs had previously been kings, and the previous queen was much disliked - earning the name “Bloody Mary” from the public - gender roles were sure to be discussed during Elizabeth’s rule. The ideas lower class men had about gender put women far lower than the ideas of men in the royal court, and Elizabeth responded to these ideas by reasserting her power and capability to rule.

Bradstreet references Elizabeth’s story as that of a phoenix, one that is never dying and will be immortal because of her valor. This is already contradicting of the previous section that she set up. Not only is Elizabeth a ruling leader within her society which men are supposed to be dominant. Elizabeth even took it as far as becoming renowned within her sphere of influence. “From all the kings on earth she won the prize…. Millions will testify that this is true.” (Bradstreet 210) Bradstreet compares her legacy to that of the tower of Babel. It tries show that her legacy was mysterious yet it showed her sole glory that she obtained but there is another catch. Bradstreet brings in another element which was shocking but predictable. With the line referencing the tower of Babel also states “More infamy than fame she did procure. She built her glory but on Babel’s walls, World’s wonder for a while, but yet it falls.” ( Bradstreet 210) I believe this lines brings in another perspective. Elizabeth might have been a great ruler but because she was still a woman, many critics try to diminish it for overall woman suffrage. For society to comprehend her strength, they referenced her as a amazon, “Our Amazon in th’ Camp of Tilbury” and “ To say thou wert a fleshy deity” (Bradstreet 209). This was meant to give her grandeur and strength in the eyes of man but didn’t give strength to the rest of the women in society.

The subject of gender appears as one of the main topics these three samples of Elizabeth I’s speeches. While she commonly mentions gender to sound humble and motherly, she also combines her gender with her knowledge to drive her points when explaining or avoiding topics, influencing the people’s opinion, and rallying the people. Some of these ideas have been captured in her portraits.

I agree, Enrique. I, too found it courageous for Queen Elizabeth I to drop the societal norms revolving around gender at time and deliver a speech of great magnitude. Her speech was meant to inspire and unify all her people and she did so with great nationalism. Many people even associate her strong words with the formation of England as a world power. Whatever the case, Queen Elizabeth I had a way with her words and may have done more damage than the glistening swords of her

Gender inequality has been an issue in society for hundreds of years and it is still a barrier for men and women today. Emma Watson, a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador and British actress, delivered a passionate and moving speech on gender inequality at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on September 20, 2014. Watson’s speech, “Be The He For She”, was directed towards the billions of people who watched the televised speech, as well as fellow United Nations Ambassadors. Emma Watson uses this speech in order to inform and persuade the audience about gender inequality and feminism. As she presented her speech, she was trying to persuade billions of people, mostly men, to become advocates for ending gender inequality.

In her motivational speech, the monarch, Queen Elizabeth I attempts to persuade her misogynistic contemporaries that she is indeed a honorable leader, capable of defending the country and people in it from any would-be invaders. The queen convinces her soldiers of this parallel-reality by equating herself with a man. Elizabeth advocates that she is willing to die with her people in order to express her ability to rule like a king, which appeals to the pride of her misogynistic subjects. She then acknowledges the claim that she is unfit to lead her queendom, and swiftly turns around and dispels the rumor by declaring that she is as much a man as any ruler of another nation, and as such they would be downright foolhardy to so much as throw a menacing glance at her mighty and prosperous queendom. Queen Elizabeth I adopts authoritative tone to continue to grip the hearts of her soldiers and motivate the men to fight for queen and country.

Leadership shines through all writing of Elizabeth’s writing such as her speeches and even her actions. She shows time and time again that she can be a leader just as such as a man. Which was an incredible feat even to this day. The undermining of women in the workplace didn’t start with elizabeth and it didn't end with elizabeth. She was always told how to be a leader, what she should do with other nations but her true initiation into the life of a queen was when she took control of how she ruled and simultaneous picked up on common traits of a leader. “I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general” This quote is one of the most inspirational and most full of rhetorical devices in her “Speech to The Troops at Tilbury” She uses Convoluted metaphors, imagery, and diction in her writing and its one of the most essential things that make her a great queen.

You have a woman, a queen, a ruler of British Empire, and surrounding her were aristocrats, priests, judges, and generals, all who were men. There were some that loved her, and treasured her, but there were plenty that loathed the idea of taking commands from a woman. When she wrote the poem, The Doubt of Future Foes, it is clear that Mary, “The daughter of debate” (Elizabeth I, 134), her half-sister, was the main focus, but I also feel it was written to others within her count that whispered tales of uprising. I have two areas of support. The first was that she, Elizabeth, made the poem public for all to see. If it was just for her half-sister, why not just give it to just her. No, I feel she was making a political statement here. She was showing her authority, and perhaps knowledge of ill-plots that surrounds her. The second comes from one line in the poem. “To pull their tops who seek such change” (Elizabeth I, 134). The word “Tops” heavily suggests that there was more than one person in her mind when she wrote

I believe Levin is correct in emphasizing Elizabeth’s maturity in handling the irrationality of the public, and I add that one of Elizabeth’s tactics to maintain her image was publishing her poetry. Elizabeth’s poem “On Monsieur’s Departure” not only garners sympathy from readers, but also works in her favor as a ruler. Instead of portraying herself as rigid and rejecting marriage entirely, Elizabeth humanizes herself to the public by writing about the pain of a lost love. Revealing her romantic emotions while ultimately never marrying conveys a clear message to her subjects: Elizabeth will only marry if it is beneficial or necessary to them, even if it hurts her heart to refuse. Elizabeth reveals her pain when she does not marry the subject of the poem because it was not in the kingdom’s best interest, and plays to stereotypes about women’s emotional and romantic nature, supporting Levin’s observation of her social

Emma Watson, best known as a leading actress in the Harry Potter series, gave a speech titled “Gender equality is your issue too” during a HeForShe campaign at the United Nations headquarters in New York City during on September 20, 2014, in attempt to raise awareness about gender inequality. Throughout the speech, Watson attempted to persuade the audience in joining the HeForShe campaign by providing examples of those who have been subject to the burdens of gender inequality – however, this speech could be considered problematic due to Watson’s lack of credibility and failure to include all types of people in our society.
