#2 trzebijm on 30 Sep 14This is an article that tries to persuade you why these ten women, whom I have never heard of, are the most influential women in history. I believe this article is a form of rhetoric because it is planned, persuades you, shapes your knowledge, address a contingent issue - people could argue for days about who the most influential women were-, is responsive because it leads people to want to argue who the most influential women were if they don't agree, the writer was motivated to tell people who the most influential women were in her opinion, and because the author has a Ph.D she has made the writing an academic one in which she uses in-text citations.
