Ethos in "The Rights of Animals" by Brigid Brophy

Brigid Brophy was an extremely accomplished writer in the 1960's.  She was mostly known for her ability to write novels but was soon renouned for her critical analyses of social issues.  Her past writing gave her credibility in the 1960's era.  Don't Never Forget, a collection of short works written by her can be found in McKeldin Library.  These works include, "The Rights of Animals", "The Immorality of marriage", "Monogamy", and many more.  "The Rights of animals" became a basis for many future articles.  Brophy also often worked as a political activist advocating for feminism and animal rights.  Remnants of her works can often still be found in feminist writing today.

  1. I think through this analysis you were able to find and exemplify a really credible source of rhetoric for analysis.

  2. I was not aware of Brophy until this text so a lot of her ethos was established through this text for me. She did a pretty good job establishing her credibility.
