Now it's time to move on.” This is a quote from Nancy Pelosi, just from this quote it is clear that she is unique in the sense that is was the first female speaker of the House. But more importantly that she does not sit idle on this achievement alone, but carries forward to perform her job to the best of her abilities.

There is the theme throughout the book of Senator Clinton needing to stand on her own as an educated, bright, and committed woman. She writes that the Clinton administration was targeted by “an interlocking network of groups and individuals who want to turn the clock back on many of the advances our country has made, from civil rights to women’s rights to consumer and environmental regulation.” Mrs. Clinton, now Sen. Clinton, is passionate about public policy. She knows her issues in and out, thoroughly. She is willing to fight for her values and beliefs, most of which I share. Her zest for public life is wonderful.

The essay's audience is made apparent early on, as she begins her essay by comparing the elaborate power-structure of young girls to that of corrupt American politics; “Our best politicians […] could not do better and a Teen-Age girl in understand the[...]political landscape that leads to power.” (315). The Implied audience of out-of touch adults plays a central role in the organization of the text; Wiseman characterizes each girl portrayed in the essay as 'your daughter', further emphasizing her model of social organization as an omnipresent phenomenon. Wiseman unapologetically circumvents any attempt at discussion as the essay's tone is unequivocally definitive, conclusive and formal.

This is especially true when considering the mystery of evil and its relation to the action of grace” (Desmond). Mrs. Turpin considers herself morally superior to others by being a “lady,” and she judges people on their appearance before she even knows them.
As White talks about in the beginning the male slave has overshadowed the female slave throughout history, which is exactly true with my past learning's of the slave trade. I personally had the Mammy stereotype in my head, and figured that women slaves had it easier than their male counterparts. I figured they got to stay in the kitchen and solely raise children.
