This question refers to the speech that Florence Kelley delivered before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905.

In this text, the rhetorical strategies that Kelley uses are logos, pathos and ethos.

Kelley uses logos when she provides arguments that are supported by logic and evidence. She employs this when she says that: "We have, in this country, two million children under the age of sixteen years who are earning their bread. They vary in age from six and seven years (in the cotton mills of Georgia) and eight, nine and ten years (in the coal-breakers of Pennsylvania)." This provides evidence of the extent of the problem.

Kelley also uses pathos when she creates an emotional appeal intended to persuade the readers. For example, Kelley says that: "A little girl, on her thirteenth birthday, could start away from her home at half past five in the 5 afternoon, carrying her pail of midnight luncheon as happier people carry their midday luncheon, and could work in the mill from six at night until six in the morning, without violating any law of the Commonwealth."

Finally, Kelley employs ethos when she appeals to her own credibility to make the speech more persuasive. She uses this strategy when she says that: "We prefer to have our work done by men and women. But we are almost powerless. Not wholly powerless, however, are citizens who enjoy the right of petition. For myself, I shall use this power in every possible way until the right to the ballot is granted, and then I shall continue to use both."
