appeal for change and her insistence that such a change does not threaten the status quo
Explanation:
The author is in favor of social changes that allow women to have access to the same benefits that men have in society. She states that a change must be made and that change must begin with society recognizing the importance of providing quality education for women, allowing them to reach the same academic levels as men and providing improvements to society. The author reinforces the idea that this would not change society for the worse, only for the better.
With that, we can say that the author's rhetorical stance is characterized by a dynamic tension between her call for change and her insistence that such a change does not threaten the status quo.
