The following is based on the excerpts of Speakers I-IV from "Female Orations" by Margaret Cavendish.

The orators are gathered together mainly for the purpose of

a.

taking action.

c.

finding a leader.

b.

sharing ideas.

d.

entertaining each other.

The orators are gathered together mainly for the purpose of (a.) taking action. This means the women are being persuaded to do their best to make a difference from being considered as a weak gender to unconventional leader and show their strength despite comparisons with men.
