Rhetorical Analysis Of Emmeline Pankhurst's Speech
Emmeline Pankhurst gave this speech to raise awareness for women’s rights. The audience of this speech was mostly women that fought for the same cause. However, it was aimed at politicians, anyone who could make a change for the better. The tone is very serious as is it is aimed to help make a change in the government. Pankhurst uses both allusions and discussions on how her movement has been labeled to help establish her points.
Initially, Pankhurst alludes to two main historical events to help establish strong points. The first is the men of Hartford. Pankhurst writes, “Suppose the men of Hartford had a grievance… and the legislature obstinately refused to listen to them… at the next general election the men of Hartford would turn out that

    Shirley Chisholm Speech Rhetorical Analysis

    Shirley Chisholm made many rhetorical choices in her speech. She used diction, pathos, and repetition in her speech. She used these different rhetorical devices for different reasons. First, she used diction in her speech when she used terms like "minority", "different", "inferior", and "prejudice". When she used these terms, she made the argument that they aren't equal to men in the workplace.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Emily Parsons-Lord's Speech

    Have you ever thought of how much oxygen you breathe every minute or every year? Well Emily Parsons-Lord, is the speaker in the video that I have chosen from Ted Talk’s website, she states that all of the breathing being done by one person could fill up an olympic size swimming pool. That is very crazy to think that one person can do that, while the whole world would be filling up around 323 million olympic size swimming pools. Now that I have talked to you about some incredible statistics of how much carbon dioxide is put in the air per year, now I will go into detail with this and tell you about the many different statements, also their purposes for each, that she makes throughout this video.

    The Pankhurst And The War Dbq Analysis

    The Pankhurst and the War(2003, p. 109). Atkinson asserts in lines ( 9-10), "The fact that women had played an important role in the war effort, made it easier for politicians to support a bill". Here we see that Diane Atkinson's stance gives credit to politicians' sympathy in acknowledging women's participation in World War One. It is therefore safe to say, that Diane Atkinson is of the view that women's participation in the war, is the main factor to finally tip the scale in the women's direction, gaining favour in the eyes of politicians hence, influencing government in 1918, to grant women over thirty the vote. Not to mention Diane Atkinson , in the early years of suffrage, was against women having the…

    How Did Susan B Anthony Fight For Women's Rights

    When, Susan B. Anthony (one of the first suffragettes), got the “crazy” notion to be able to have an opinion on political matters, men’s pride was about to pick a fight with one of the strongest forces this world has ever known, woman. When first brought to Congress in 1848, it wasn’t even thought about. No was the only response for such an absurd notion. However, women were just getting started. They marched…

    Why Did Women Get the Vote in 1918?

    Many women who wanted the right to vote had put their faith in the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and local trade unions. Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst (mother and daughter) were key parts of the suffrage movement. In 1903, the Pankhurst family founded the WSPU (Women’s Social and Political Union). Emmeline wanted the ILP to simply state that women had equal political status as men- to achieve this they began to pressurise the ILP. The WSPU did not start out as a militant movement. In later years, former members of the WSPU claimed that the movement had been pushed into its militant stance by the intransigent behaviour of the government of the day. Their aim for gender equality was not coming quick enough, so they turned to forcefulness. They initially began with campaigning and mocking ministers, and by 1906 had been given the name ‘suffragettes’ from the media. 300,000 women attended a demonstration organized by the suffragettes to convince the new Prime Minister, Asquith, that women did want and intended to get the vote. Even after the demonstration, Asquith-head of the Liberal Party in which women had so much hope in-was not convinced. 1…

    George Dangerfield Suffragette

    The unparalleled power of ‘first’ histories is revealed through George Dangerfield’s 1935 novel, The Strange Death of Liberal England, in creating a paradigm for which “subsequent historians have seldom been able to free themselves”. Attesting the Suffragette Movement as a major cause for the downfall of the Liberal Party in 1924, Dangerfield presents a distorted view of the past through the shrewd lens of comedy. Coupled with his persuasive writing, Dangerfield fabricates a fictitious narrative, as he labels the Pankhurst’s as “actors” in his grand “drama”. Such a blatant dismissal of the Suffragettes as mere blimps on the historical radar was standard within the androcentric realm of women’s history. Indeed, the predominantly male readership may have influence as reinforcing gender stereotypes appealed to the interests of male elites. Hence, perhaps it is equally the gender of the historian, and their audience that shapes their interpretation.…

    Woman's Social and Political Union

    In 1867 most of the male population in Britain received the vote most historians agree that the beginning of the suffrage campaign was in 1832 when a woman asked a campaigner, while campaigning for the wider male, vote to include women. It was not until 1903 when Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Woman's Social and Political Union (WSPU). She founded this group having been a member of the Suffragists. She became frustrated with the Suffragists' tactics, especially their middle class and gradualist ideas. The motto of the Suffragettes was "Deeds, not Words" and this was reflected in everything they did. In this essay I will loom at weather the WSPU helped or hinders women’s quest to gain the vote in Britain.…

    The Progressive Era Analysis

    First she says that historians should discuss the meanings and consequences of women’s suffrage. If that was done then would have a clear understand of events took place and to have and understanding of what happened because of those events. Historians need to be more informative and discuss the meaning a consequences of women suffrage. According to the author historian’s mainly focus on the early victories and they emphasize the disappointments . I understand why historian would discuss those victors and downfalls, those are seen as the most important and feel that those are the ones that have to be shared. I do agree that there should have been focus women suffrage as a whole rather than certain events. Because it not giving the whole story can create confusion on what actually happened. Secondly she thinks that they should rethink the attention they pay to moral reforms movements. To According to the author the “almost every Progressive cause had its moral dimensions…”1 moral…
