B: “The fulcrum of the new momism is the rise of a really pernicious ideal in the late twentieth century . . .
I believe Stimach’s essay followed the criteria of a successful argument by persuading me with strong details throughout the entirety of the argument. I think this argument would be a useful teaching tool to put in the textbook, Writing Arguments, because the author backed up her claims with reliable sources and responded to opposing views. Her argument was organized and she gave three specific reasons why students shouldn’t get married in college. Quality Sources One reason this is a good argument is that Stimach uses multiple pieces of factual evidence to support her claims. She moves from one topic to another with ease using facts from other sources frequently.

For women, equality was not something easily achieved. Through long years, feminine activists have suffered devastating setbacks, and accomplished significant milestones as well. Monumental efforts to actualize such milestones were made by writer and activist Betty Friedan. Most prominent during the Second Wave of the feminist movement, during the 1960s and lasting through the 1980s, she is accredited with inspiring women across the country and writing one of the most powerful books of the twentieth century (“Betty”). Betty Friedan is the most influential female writer prior to 1980 due to the social changes brought about through her writing, most significantly The Feminine Mystique, and political activism for women’s fulfillment and civil rights.

To understand the rise of the women’s movement in the 1960’s and 1970’s, one must look at the cultural ideology of the time, as well as, other influences that might have sparked unrest within the female community. In the essays, “Cold War Ideology and the Rise of Feminism” by Elaine Tyler May and “Women’s Liberation and Sixties Radicalism” by Alice Echols, both historians discuss the women’s movement/protest and how it came to be. While the women’s liberation movement meant equality and the end to sex discrimination to many women, Echols and May offer different explanations on the rise of the women’s movement, and differences on the limitations that women discovered in trying to attain their goals through the movement. These differences in perspective may be observed through the historians’ writing, placing emphasis on how long they talk about each cause of the rise of feminism. To understand the feminist movement and their goals, one must first look at the history and popular culture before the sixties and seventies.
