Women at Work presents the field of rhetorical studies with fifteen
chapters that center on gender, rhetoric, and work in the US in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Feminist scholars explore
women's labor evangelism in the textile industry, the rhetorical
constructions of leadership within women's trade unions, the
rhetorical branding of a twentieth-century female athlete, the
labor activism of an African American blues singer, and the
romantic, same-sex collaborations that supported pedagogical labor.
Women at Work also introduces readers to rhetorical methods and
approaches possible for the study of gender and work. Contributors
name and explore a specific rhetorical concern that animates their
study and in so doing, readers learn about such concepts as
professional proof, rhetorical failure, epideictic embodiment,
rhetorics of care, and cross-racial coalition building.
