She advocated for the rights of women to vote because she believes in equal rights and justice for all citizens. The speech was very successful because of the use of ethos, pathos, and logos.
Her outspokenness began an unstoppable and persistent women’s suffrage movement that inspired hundreds of rebellious women to keep fighting, even after Anthony’s death in 1906, which was fourteen years before the vote was gained.

Thirdly, another detail is she was a smart and effective Pharaoh. In paragraph 12, the text states, “There is no reliable record of exactly when or how it happened, but at some point, Hatshepsut took a bold and unprecedented step.” This quote explains that she was a smart ruler because she did it by surprise. Also in paragraph 13, the text states, “These women had not ruled long or well, and neither had had the audacity to proclaim herself Pharaoh. Hatshepsut would be different.”
This speech was given on November 13th, 1913 by Emmeline Pankhurst, who has been called the mother of British suffragette movement, in Hartford, Connecticut. She was on a fundraising tour across the United States and it became her most famous talk. She addressed to an audience filled with men but also women such as Katherine Houghton Hepburn (mother of the movie star) who was also a leader of the American suffrage, an audience assembled by Connecticut Women's Suffrage Association. Pankhurst's intentions were to justify the aggressive tactics the movement had taken and to encourage women to join their forces, it was also known her aim was also to increase fundraising to go on fighting for their cause.
Yes, she served politically as well, but there was no other motive. She only wanted to make Egypt an eminence amongst the other countries, and to follow her family’s legacy as the dynasty of Egypt’s rulers. Her main goals were to unify her country by stabilizing it and to enlarge her territories. She also managed to take all the power from her brother(s) and become the sole ruler of Egypt. This is important because it proves that she really was an ambitious leader.
For a woman today, it’s self-evident to participate in many things relating to all matters, but was it always like that?No, contrariwise , only after 1920 women had the full right to vote in the united states, before that, in the Age of the Enlightenment, they couldn't even say what hey want. But that didn’t stop them from doing it. During the Age of Enlightenment not only men enlightenment thinkers inspired the people also many women took a huge part during that time. One of them, who stand out several times during that time, because of her good ideas and inspiring goals, was Wollstonecraft.
Stanton's speeches did not cause an immediate change in the views of men in America but it started a revolution and made a difference. “Declarations of Sentiments and Resolutions” is “arguably the most significant document to call for the advancement of women in nineteenth-century America” (Knight). Despite the fact that women didn’t retain the right to vote until 72 years later, Stanton's Declaration of Sentiments was the first to publicize the issues that would be on the forefront of women's struggle to gain equality (Knight). Along with Stanton's “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, “Solitude of Self” made an enormous impact on the fight for women's equality. “The speech was a success with both the House and the Senate committees.
Sogolon Kedjou is a powerful character in the epic first and foremost because she conceives and births Sundiata, the founder of the Mali Empire. Her most important role is that of a mother, which can be problematic when discussing the importance and influence of women in the epic because it emphasizes fertility and the female body over the female mind and internal powers beyond conception. With regards to the importance of conception and fertility in women, there is a consistent theme of male ownership over females throughout the epic. It should be noted however that Sogolon represents a strong female character that is arguably responsible for the creation of a great empire. For without Sogolon and her great powers, Sundiata would not exist

Veronica Torres Professor John Perdue GOVT 2306 5 October 2015 Minnie Fisher Cunningham Minnie Fisher Cunningham was an extraordinary women who had many accomplishments. Throughout her life time (March 19, 1882 – December 9, 1964) she became known as a suffragist, a politician and the first executive secretary for the league of women voters’.

Her major accomplishment is coming from a major upper class Southern status to providing privileges to people of different status and race. This soon spread all over across the country and state to where most girls wanted to be in Girl Scouts. This had a great impact on American society because without her, the idea that girls cannot do as many physical activities as boys can wouldn’t be that strong in most people’s head. For instance in 2005, Juliette was memorialized in Washington, DC in the Extra Mile Points of Light Monument. This is the only national monument that pays tribute for individuals who, “causes others to help realize a better America.”
Anna Goldsworthy writes in the introduction to her Quarterly Essay, that it’s never been a better time to be a woman in this country ‘on the surface’. Despite the hegemony of females to crucial positions within government, large business and greater education, women are still held to incredible standards in what Goldsworthy marks as an ‘image-centric culture’. Before I read the essay, I thought it was going to be solely based around women in politics, but it wanders off into the general area of sexism and misogyny where she Goldsworthy starts writing about how the female is viewed in common society, and then further away into Gonzo porn, online culture, typically associated with teenage women and their image and how they are viewed online, and also how women may go out and correct their flaws by makeup and plastic surgery. Goldsworthy begins her essay here with Gillard 's speech, now referred to as simply ‘the misogyny speech’, it was a hit out of Abbott and his associated endorsement of ‘sexism and misogyny’.
Her speech was about the social, cultural, and political aspects of the woman’s struggle for equal rights. She went on to travel throughout the United States and Europe for over 45 years. Ms. Anthony died in 1906, and women still didn’t have the right to vote, 14 years after her death in 1920 the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave all adult women the right to vote.
