Answer 1

The Great Demand banner:

From 1914 to 1917 a large number of women stood up to protest in America for their right to vote. They started rallies and in those rallies they used a banner which was labelled as ‘The Great Demand’ banners.

Moving towards the excerpt, The details "cold, pouring rain" and "silent vigil" provide a vivid description. It gives us a very detailed and clear information of how one thousand women despite such severe weather conditions stood before the white house.

Later, as the author describes about the campaign, his dictation emphasizes the women’s persistence. He states that how even after so many years, women were still persistent enough to achieve equality.
