 Rhetorical Analysis
Crystal Eastman isn’t a common name, and a lot of people don’t know of her, but her speech is a well-received one, and I think she gets her point out today.
Eastman was there when un-equal rights for women was going on, so it gives her a lot of creditability, as well as putting emotion into it, whether if it was bashing men, or simply stating that men don’t treat their wives equally.
Eastman describes certain instances in her speech to specify inductive examples… by stating what the problem is or what is actually going on and then giving us a way we could change it, or make it better.

A crystal is a solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
Under ideal conditions, the result may be a single crystal, where all of the atoms in the solid fit into the same lattice or crystal structure but, generally, many crystals form simultaneously during solidification, leading to a polycrystalline solid.
Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure.
