Chapter one is the arrival of Hortense in England in 1948 after travelling from Jamaica to meet her husband Gilbert. Levy tells the story through Hortense's viewpoint, and as a Jamaican having never before visited England, her perceptions are much different from her expectations. The chapter begins with Hortense arriving at the dock after travelling by ship to London. From the start it is clear that England is not all Hortense believed it to be. She believed it to be a place of privilege and sophistication, which she has learnt all about at her teaching college back in Jamaica.

An Under famed Rhetorician Rhetoric has been through many stages, from early Greek origins to modern day theory. It has shaped societies and has transformed civilizations round the globe. Due process states that we must accredit those who have contributed to rhetoric along the way. An area of rhetoric I feel that has not been explored enough is the contribution that women have added throughout time; particularly the renaissance period. Due to the limited amount of resources and the restrictions laid upon women for practicing rhetoric, it is astonishing how many women were still able to make a significant impact on the field of rhetoric which I feel has paved the way for women’s liberations rights today.
The 1920’s decade has often been characterized as a time of great progress and change, socially, politically and culturally, and was known as the ‘Roaring Twenties’.

Women would no longer be seen as source 4 portrays, but instead gained a level of equality, previously unknown because of stereotypes. Although this was not always followed, with sexual discrimination, and stereotypes still being inflicted on women, it was definitely the beginning of a change for the better. In conclusion, the Women’s Liberation Movement in the post war era has dramatically changed the way in which Australia views, and treats women in a workplace, in law, and in healthcare, as well as the “Perspex Ceiling”, being mostly brought down. The change came directly from the actions of feminists and activists of the early 1900’s to the present day, and although sexism is still alive in Australia, even today, through the Liberation Movements efforts to change women’s rights and freedoms, it has been subdued incredibly since the start of the 20th century.
