Puzzle Paragraph

Once upon a time, Florence Kelley delivered a speech to the National American Suffrage Association in Philadelphia; her words outline the values and rights everyone is entitled to, depicting the reality of gender equality. Throughout her speech, Kelley used varying styles of language to convey her purpose: rhetoric structure and parallels demonstrated her claim that women's suffrage was the key to solving the issue of child labor. For, as many works in literature claim, the connection a mother has to a child is the single bond that breaks or binds the challenges in life. Today, we have made a huge leap in overcoming the stigmas of sexism and inequality. Women are no longer the pink elephants in society, those who stand out and are unaccepted among the gray herd of males. Women were identifiable by their assumed weakness and demeanor. Using the argumental voice of Jesus, Kelley demanded that equality was the path for happiness and order in society. For, Kelley points out we are all children and the stigmas that confine others is inhumane.
