Feeling this impetus, author Jessica Grose, composed “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier.” Grose debates men have become considerable caretakers, but the majority sweeping and tidying of dwelling is still bruising women today. Grose initially forms her validity with intimate information and renowned claims, stating credible facts and statistics, and successfully applying passionate pathos.

This shows that the author has done her research, and has given valid information, as well as expert opinions, of other authors to support her claim. A first-hand experience gives her an insight on what she is debating about and further supports that society could be
