For many years, it was nearly impossible for a women to have any self-confidence whatsoever without being judged by the opposite sex, or even the government.

Women were not only forced to be uneducated, but to practically “wear the pants” in the relationship by doing nothing short of the dirty work.…

    "Writing to an audience" means writing to describe the same incident and differing the level of details, while keeping the end consumers of the writing in mind. e.g. consider that you were on a foreign vacation and lost your travel documents; so, if you were to write and share the same incident to different people, the content and details of specific portions would differ depending on the set of people receiving the details. The authorities and consulate concerned about genuinely of the incident and recovering the lost items, would be more interested in knowing when and where were the documents were lost or last seen; the description would be factual and the tone would be formal and unemotional. On the other hand, your friends and family concerned about your well-being maybe more interested in knowing how you coped with the situation and the personal…

    When I first started reading, I didn’t see where the author was going with her essay and what points she was trying to make. I was very uninterested until she started elaborating on the importance of home. I would have liked it if Quindlen included a hook or a glimpse of her main idea in the first, or even the second paragraph. That would have drawn the reader in and made them curious about the rest of the essay.…

    To protect herself from any potential backlash, Murray submitted the essay under the pen name “Constantia” and while it didn’t create a movement for equality, her essay was enough to at least get people thinking. The essay also was released during a pivotal time in American history because the country was going through a significant era of change from the American Revolution.

This newfound significance as a “republican mother” (Kornfeld 8) enticed society to place more emphasis on women’s education and also created some equality within the households between husband and wife.…
