Indira Gandhi
What Educated Women Can Do by Indira Gandhi
Indira Gandhi was born November 11, 1917 to the parents Jawaharl and Kamala Nehru. She came from a family of power, as both parents were prime ministers of India, and her mother was a freedom fighter. Although assassinated on October 31, 1984 at the age of 67, before her passing, she won multiple awards and received an extensive education. Her awards include the Bharat Ratha, the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, and the Lenin Peace Prize. She received education from Somerville College, Visva-Bharati University, Badminton School, and the University of Oxford. This speech she’s giving is being given at a Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Indraprastha College for Women. Golden Jubilee celebrations are given to mark a 50th year anniversary of something. The intended audience of this speech is everyone who will listen because she’s talking about how women don’t get enough credit for what they can do with what little freedom they have. This speech is saying that more women need to be educated so to better improve and educate our world because equality is the essential root of a successful society. Gandhi clarifies the issue of equal rights to gain education as the world turns a cold shoulder on this issue: ‘it should be an intrinsic part of any strategy to address the gender based: ‘Discrimination against women and girls those remain prevalent in many societies.’ Using anecdote, Gandhi reminds the people that women, even at a young age when they’re still girls, have to remain hidden and cannot be on their own, as if they can’t walk on their own. This can be identified as anecdote because she’s using a story of her childhood to better explain a point she’s trying to make. Using antithesis, she reminds us that “Even the most rich country in the world has its dark side…” and India can be a huge step in the world if they allowed more women to be educated at this college she’s speaking at.
