The one I picked was a speech called “Votes for Women” by Mark Twain and the reason why I picked this is because both The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that he wrote are the two of my most favorite novels, and the speech itself also looked interesting in terms of both…
