Susan B Anthony Persuasive Speech

In the early stages of the year 1873, social reformer, women's rights advocate, proponent of feminism, Susan B. Anthony, shed’s light on women being able to have a lawful right to vote, with an influential speech, that leads to equality for women and men, this protest coordinates women and voting, but also opens opportunity for women in everything that they do. Susan B. Anthony supports her claims in a forceful manner, by explaining the amount of suffrage taking place in women's lives, as a result of the lack of rights they have, she gives a valid example by explaining her arrest, for “the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote”, she states that she did not commit a crime, she just exercised her rights as a citizen guaranteed by the National Constitution. Anthony’s purpose is to exert the rights for women that are in the Constitution, that are being overlooked by the United States Government. She establishes a compelling tone for whom it applies to.

Vida Jane Mary Goldstein was a young pioneer in women’s rights. She is one of Australia’s greatest suffragettes and has changed Australia even to this day. She was the first woman to ever stand in parliament in Australia and got over 51 000 votes. She advocated for social justice, women’s rights and women’s suffrage.

Susan B. Anthony, a catalyst for women’s rights in the late 1800’s, drives a speech on Women’s Right to Vote (Fall of 1872) that argues against the oligarchy of sex that denies women their certain inalienable rights. Anthony develops her argument against the establishment by stating her case that she is indeed not guilty of any crime, but exercised her right as an American citizen to vote for our Presidential leader, as well as reciting the preamble of the Federal Constitution to back her argument. The purpose in which is to fight against the laws that hinder her ability as a citizen of the United States of America. Anthony is driving this speech to anyone who will listen, as she says “ Friends and fellow citizens,” and stand with her in the cause for women’s rights.

The strength of a speech does not come from the strength of a person’s voice, but the strength comes from the passion of the speaker towards the subject. The film Selma directed by Ana DuVernay, portrays the story of Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle to achieve voting rights in the south for African Americans. In the film, two speeches that King spoke caught my attention, they are “Give Us the Vote” and “Who Murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson?”. After analyzing both speeches, I have found that both are very similar as they both are relatable by directing his speeches towards his audience emotions, how he persuades his audience to fight for their rights through protest, and how he is able to express his own beliefs in his speeches to further support his argument favoring voting rights.

In the constitution, the sentence “All men are created equal” can have many different interpretations. Some believe that is referring to everyone, women or men and other believe is only talking about men. In the six different sources, the most important consideration in granting suffrage to women in America are if they “are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable right”, if they should be able to vote and if they should remain in different sphere than men (source A). In source A, Susan B. Anthony was arrested because she believed that everyone deserves the right to vote so, she voted it. She argues that women will only receive the right to vote, when people start to change their view or opinion that only men are able to vote. She

I have never been so upset in my entire life! America has humiliated us and belittled us as if we were not appreciated to a higher demand. We waited all this time to go into battle, to be honored… and yet, we were not. So, Mother Louis, tell me this: Would you be okay with yourself offering to help out anyone but haven’t even been honored as at least a whole? To be made fun of, to be called a shame to that very person as a whole? Well, that is what America had done to us Black folks. You see, Mother Louis, we have been everything but mean to the United States except for unkind. We have given our servitude to them and they still treat us as if we don’t have been running around here like we haven’t got any kind of head! We are apart of the one-hundred

There came a time in the United States where the so called Equal rights amendment has been ratified. Where women were recognized as housewives, defining them as what women are suppose to do and nothing else. Although these women wanted more in life such as freedom to do what they want just like men do everyday. If the men were able to work,vote, speak, and do as they please then why couldn't women do the same? If everyone had equal rights. Women aren't to be defined as what their identity is or what race they are nor the capabilities and responsibilities they are capable of doing.I strongly agree with these women of wanting to be equal with man because if it wasn't for the woman's right movement, our society today wouldn't allow women to work, teach, play a sport. Basically do a man’s job. Additionally having the woman as housewives because that's what the society and men thought of women, being at home to care for the kids and household. That is why we thank the women's rights movement in our past history that started in 1848. Due to that more girls and women have come to think of themselves as the equals of men. Which has transformed our lives in many ways. For example such as equal pay work as well as even being in the workforce,in general. The opportunities that weren't open for them that are now open as possessing more in terms of options and opportunities.It’s done a great impact because women get to educate themselves to become something they want to be such as a

Susan B. Anthony was best known for fighting for fighting for voting rights, “she had brought her copy of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of citizens to vote. She had also brought a copy of the New York State Constitution” (Pollack 9-10). However, she ended up being jailed three weeks after she voted, because men interpreted the fourteenth amendment as only male citizens could vote and women had no right to vote. Susan was ready to fight no matter how hard the fight would be she was ready to take it on. Women won the right to vote in 1868 when the fourteenth amendment was ratified; however, it was officially won with the nineteenth amendment. It states that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex” (Ginsberg, et al, A27), this was proposed in 1919 and ratified in 1920.

Susan B. Anthony’s Is it a Crime for a U.S Citizen to Vote? speech provided a groundbreaking sense of entitlement to the women of the nineteenth century and a revitalizing culture shock to the rest of society. Anthony’s speech became a momentous achievement to the National Woman’s Suffrage Association whom of which began slowly paving the way for equality of the genders. She made her speech memorable through witty remarks and cleverly placed rhetorical devices; her points simple and driven all governed by the law; should have a say in the law. Anthony successfully won the approval she craved, feeding the movement she so vigorously strived to preserve.

Women are not as equal as they should be because discrimination follows women to college, to the workplace, and to the army. For America is a democracy that should to treat everyone the same no matter their gender, why are women not included in this democracy? How would the pioneers of the Women’s Rights movement feel about women not being treated equally after they put their hearts and souls into obtaining equal rights? Is all of their hard work for nothing? Society, in general, should continue to strive for equal rights in order to carry on the dream of the pioneers.

The 2016 United States presidential election results have left a bitter, cold, and sad presence amongst many. While it might feel too soon to move on and accept what has happened, we can cherish the monumental movement Hillary Clinton has started for women in America. Whether you agreed with her stance or not, you cannot deny the success she has obtained: professionally and socially. She has changed the standards. She has transformed the game.

“OK, so I’ve talked to Jennifer, and she told me these are the things you talked about,” the lawyer told me. His wispy, thinning hair bounced a bit as he motioned toward me with his head, like one of those toy birds that fills itself up with liquid. “So, I’m just going to go over this real fast. These are just bullet points; I’ll write it up later. One: to your knowledge, Jason has been using drugs while his children have been in his care…”

I am writing this paper to persuade you to vote in affirmation of the House Bill 448 which allows women to breastfeed in public without prosecution. I know from your beliefs that you believe in equal rights regardless of differences, so I believe that you will process this bill thoroughly with reason and logic. If you are in opposition of this bill, then I hope you can take the time to read through my stance on this matter to get a different perspective. I’m in affirmation of the House Bill 448 because mothers of this nation should be allowed to breastfeed their children in public without being harassed or prosecuted for performing a responsibility as a mother. You as a local legislator should take the views of your people to better create an environment where mothers feel safe feeding their children.

Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, in Alabama. When she was two she and her parents moved to another place in Alabama. The same year her baby brother was born, and her parents shortly separated after that. This sound like a normal childhood, right? The only thing that made this childhood different, from a childhood today, was that Rosa Parks was an african-american raised at the same times as the “Jim Crow” laws. The “Jim Crow” laws was laws that separated black people and white people. The black people could only go to certain schools, they could only use toilets for black people and when they were taking the bus, they could only sit on the seats for black people. If the bus was to crowded of people, they had to give up their seats for white people. Rosa Parks is known for doing this little thing, she refused to give up her seat for a white man. In this text we are going to take a closer

Both speeches, On Women’s Right to Vote and The Perils of Indifference, came from different eras and circumstances. Anthony gave the famous speech On Women’s Right to Vote in 1872, in which she argued about the discrimination against women. By casting an illegal vote in the 1872 Presidential Elections, Anthony’s courage sent a
