Blackwell masterfully employs many methods to motivate the women receiving the address to pursue medicine. Initially in the letter, Blackwell alludes to the 3000 female physicians that exist in the US and the how it is becoming increasingly easy to become a female physician. By comparing the situation in the US, Blackwell is able to portray a sense of hope and possibility within female physicians in Great Britain and inspiring the students to pursue medicine and to be the pioneers in Great Britain for this movement. “There is no career nobler than that of a physician” (page 283). This statement used by Blackwell can be especially motivating for women.
As with everything else Winfrey is passionate about, she is able to inspire others to be passionate about philanthropy and education too. The purpose of my research was to find out what makes Oprah Winfrey such a charismatic leader. How is
Florence Nightingale: Change Agent Before there was Sarah Palin or Hilary Clinton, there was Victoria Woodhull, who was the first woman to run for president in 1872, a time when women had no voice. During an era when women where domesticated beings and rarely educated, women like Annie Sullivan, teacher of Helen Keller, changed the lives of others through scholastic study. Before myself and my colleagues joined the ranks of nurses and made a creed to provide compassionate and proficient care to all, there were women like Florence Nightingale, a nurse and notable change agent in the field of medicine. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820 during the Victorian Era in Florence; the city for which she was named. The ideal career choice for women during the Victorian Era was marriage.
Eastman makes it clear to her readers, that no matter the stance a woman takes on the women’s rights movement, a true feminist will always fight for what she believes in with courage and strength. Eastman states, “In fighting for the right to vote most women have tried to be either non-committal or thoroughly respectable on every other subject. Now they can say what they are really after; and what they are after, in common with all the rest of the struggling world, is freedom” (Eastman). Women fought for many years for their rights, women including Susan B Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Stanton and many more. For years these women worked hard as activists for women’s rights and in August of 1920 the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.
The audience seems to be predominately women, and involved in politics, or related educational fields. Baker’s speech was to inform and inspire them. The final speech was, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” delivered at the 1995 United Nation’s 4th World Conference on Women by First Lady Hillary Clinton. Her speech was about the rights and equality of women and that by bettering women’s lives it will bolster children and families too. Clinton’s speech to the UN World Conference on Women seems to be a perfectly tailored audience for her message, and that audience can heed her call to action if her speech inspires them.
Eleanor Roosevelt was a well known political figure. Unlike most women worrying about themselves, she was worried about everyone except herself.

Running head: SUSAN B. ANTHONY 1 Susan B. Anthony American Women’s Leader and Abolitionist Carolyn S. Okeefe Argosy Online University SUSAN B. ANTHONY 2 Abstract This essay explores the life of Susan Brownell Anthony and the accomplishments she fought for American women to have the right to vote and receive equal pay as men for the same type of work.

She took all of that and went on to become a famous talk show host, an actress, and an owner of her own network. Let’s not forget her magazine either. Courage helped me to survive, just as it did with Oprah. It took telling the truth, through our fear, being real, to be able to tell our stories. It took plodding through our pain, standing up for ourselves, and accepting challenges, to make us what we are today, strong women.
Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton gather women together and fought for their rights. They deserved to vote just like men did. They needed to prove themselves. To get their message across they formed the National Women Suffrage Association, in May 1869. This was an organization made up of only women.
