My favorite essay out of the three was the “51 Percent
Minority” essay. This is my favorite essay because I can relate to it, as I am
female. In it the writer is stating her point: that discriminatory practices
are being inflicted on women in Canada. I like that this essay addressed the
issue of discrimination against women. It is an issue that not only occurs in
Canada but all over the world. This is also my favorite essay because it
effectively compares and contrasts other minorities with women. Stating that in
Canada these other minorities are not the ones being discriminated against, it
is the women who are. By doing this, the writer appeals to a broader audience,
consisting of not only women but men as well. I also enjoy this essay because
it allows the reader to see the attitudes towards women in the past, as the
essay first appeared in 1980. This allows the reader to see how the attitudes
changed from the past to present day future.
