Equality and women's rights. Politics and rhetoric. My essay examines women's rhetorical struggle in the political space, as well as how politicians create their rhetorical agency to talk about equality and women's rights. I want to contribute knowledge about the persuasive power of arguments, by examining Bill Clinton's speech that he gave in 1992, as well as Hillary Clinton's speech at the Beijing Conference in 1995. I will start from the theories of ethos, pathos and logos, elocutio, actio, rhetorical agency and the rhetoric of resistance to research my chosen material. I will use the method of rhetorical analysis with selected parts of such and rhetorical agency, as well as examine rhetorical strategies. The result shows that Bill and Hillary use different strategies to shape arguments with persuasive power, the difference is that one is a man and the other is a woman and that the strategies are designed accordingly.
