Ethos in the 1960s Feminist Movement Text

Women in the 1960s were victims of oppression in the work place. They were underpaid for what they did and they were not put in higher-level company positions. This lady is holding a sign in at a protest in order to fight this oppression. Her ethos is built through this action because she is most likely dealing with it this sexism in her day-to-day life. While we cannot confirm this from the picture, this would be an accurate assumption to make. If she has not directly felt the impact of this, then her friends, family, and coworkers have probably been the victim. Apart from this, there is not much ethos that comes with this picture. We do not know who she is or what her exact story and reputation is. Therefore we must build ethos based on the assumptions we make.
