Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published July 26, 2013 (volume 23, issue 27)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Pro"by Eleanor Smeal, Former President of the National Organization for Women "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Con"by Phyllis Schlafly, Founder and President of Eagle Forum par. 1Of course American women are better off today than 50 years ago! As a proud feminist activist for more than 40 years, I don't claim to be an impartial observer. Although inequities remain and the struggle is far from over, women's advancements are revolutionary. par. 2In education, women have soared, both academically and athletically. In the 1960s women comprised a third of students enrolled in college, and some 60 percent never graduated. When I first began speaking for equality, women made up just 3 percent of the lawyers and 8 percent of the medical doctors. Feminists fought restrictive quotas that limited the number of women entering not only professional schools, but college itself. We were taunted with the ditty, “women don't want to be doctors or lawyers, they want to marry them.” par. 3Today such taunts are gone. Women are some 57 percent of college graduates and a majority of medical and law students. Women earn some 60 percent of the master's degrees and 52 percent of the doctorates. par. 4In 1963 women were just 20 percent of the paid workforce; today we are nearly half. Women-owned businesses now employ more people than Fortune 500 companies combined. Women did not have equal credit opportunities until 1975, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act did not pass until 1978. Fifty years ago a woman could be fired if she became pregnant. This was a typical fate for pregnant teachers, flight attendants and many more. Today's laws prohibit this practice. par. 5Advances in birth control and abortion, and access to them, have improved women's health, economic well-being and educational opportunities. Women's longevity and maternal health have increased, while infant mortality and morbidity have decreased. par. 6Yes, the world is changing for women. Today the movement is worldwide. The need is still great, but the vision, hope and odds for winning women's equality have never been better. par. 1Whether women are better off today depends on what the goals in life are: to be rich, to be important, to achieve the aims of feminism, or to be happy. Women will have different answers. But because the trigger for this question is the 50th anniversary of the feminist movement, perhaps we should answer in that context. par. 2The goal of the women's liberation movement, as it labeled itself when it was launched in 1963 by Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, was to move all fulltime homemakers out of their homes and into the labor force. This was not based on any economic argument; the feminist rationale was that the home was a “comfortable concentration camp” to which wives and mothers were confined by the patriarchy. As Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her book Sex Bias in the U.S. Code, “the concept of husband-breadwinner and wife-homemaker must be eliminated from the Code to reflect the equality principle.” par. 3The separation of marriage from a recognition of the complementary roles of mother and father, plus the easy divorce laws, brought about the unfortunate separation of babies from marriage. So now 41 percent of births in the United States are illegitimate. Generous federal handouts give women an incentive to look to Big Brother for financial support instead of to husbands and fathers. par. 4A National Bureau of Economic Research working paper by University of Pennsylvania economists reported that women's happiness has declined measurably since 1970. One theory advanced by the authors is that the feminist movement “raised women's expectations” (in other words, sold them a bill of goods), making them feel inadequate when they fail to have it all. par. 5Their principal problem was that they took women's studies courses in college where they learned to plan a career in the workplace without any space or time for marriage or babies, at least until the women are over age 40 and their window of opportunity has closed. So they don't have the companionship of a husband in their senior years or grandchildren to provide a reach into the future. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Pro” and "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.
