Analyzing Message in Women Entrepreneurs 2.0

As with any text, it's important to understand the overall message.

I think the three most relevant bullet points are 'express an opinion or idea', 'explore a topic', and 'advocate for change'. These are pretty obviously relevant because Julie expresses her opinion about the way things are, then explores the topic in a little more detail, and throughout the article she advocates for change in the way women are viewed in entrepreneurship.

The bullet points that I think are less relevant are 'respond to a particular occasion or text', 'analyze, synthesize, or interpret', and 'persuade readers of something'. There isn't really a specific occasion or text that is being referenced because the article is more about an overarching trend. There isn't anything official to analyze, synthesize, or interpret, but instead she is sharing thoughts about the current situation and providing thoughts about fixing it. Finally, I she isn't trying too hard to persuade the readers of something because the readers should already have an understanding of the situation so instead she focuses on the solution to the problem at hand.

I don't think there are any nuances because we still need to solve the original problem. It's possible to view this as a nuance because it can be considered third wave feminism, which is another adapted wave of feminism. But other than that, I don't think the information is very nuanced because the goal is still to get women a fair shake. I don't know how much more straight forward things can get.
