Critical Analysis: Shirley Chisholm Speech Equal Rights for Women In her famous speech “Equal Rights for Women,” addressed to The United States House of Representatives in Washington D.C, May 21, 1969, Chisholm addresses the assumption about women in society being treated unfair. She expresses how women are viewed in society and the prejudice against women that’s being accepted daily and sought out to secure equal rights for women by introducing a proposal “that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years and that will sooner or later must become part of the basic law of the land..”(1), as the Equal Rights Amendment. In her speech she not only expresses and highlights how women are viewed differently in many aspects of life but she refutes common arguments and shows how gender discrimination is harmful for both men and women in society. Early in her speech, Chisholm relied on her personal experience to persuade her case for Equal Rights. Chisholm stated, “Prejudice as a black person is becoming unacceptable...” (1) While she then states “Prejudice against women is acceptable” (1).

Although Hillary Clinton would make a strong political name for herself, Bill Clinton's Presidency would make her a household name for those unfamiliar with politics. She would serve as first lady alongside her husband from 1992-2000.
Her presidency would mark a historic presidential breakthrough for women. She would be a role model and inspiration for millions of women young and old in the world's top political power spot. There's the perception that she has the political savvy to wage the blood battles with a GOP-controlled Congress. There's also the political reality about the shape of a Clinton White House. She is a moderate, centrist Democrat who will give a hard nod to the interests of minorities, gays and women.

Richards creates a strong ethical appeal to her audience by stating her Democratic political background, views, and opinions. However, her ethical appeal is partially biased considering that she is speaking to a democratic audience, therefore she has to cater to the democratic values, which include equality and fairness.

Since the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing 1995), where women rights and gender equality were put at the center stage, countless initiatives have taken place all around the world to allow girls and women to have access to the same opportunities as men do.

Rwanda for example, has the highest ratio of women parliamentarian in the world (61.3%). (IPU, 2017). Despite such progress, there is still a long way to go.
