Question

4. KQ What is Kelley's call to action, and how does it relate to her claim about the need for

Answer 1

Answer: her call to action (as an American social worker and reformer) was to speak up about the harsh environment women/ girls have to work in.

Explanation: It mentions In paragraph 4 that there are no restrictions and a girl of six or seven years just tall enough to reach the bobbins, may work eleven hours by day or by night. She even adds emphasis by saying they do this “while we sleep.” This supports her claim of women’s suffrage by explaining the harshness of allowing a 7 year old girl who can barely reach the bobbins to work 11 hours day or night. It explains the level of insanity and why not only Kelley but us as a whole need to take action.
