Rhetoric and feminism have yet to coalesce into a singular
recognizable field. In this book, author Cheryl Glenn advances the
feminist rhetorical project by introducing a new theory of
rhetorical feminism. Clarifying how feminist rhetorical practices
have given rise to this innovative approach, Rhetorical Feminism
and This Thing Called Hope equips the field with tools for a more
expansive and productive dialogue. Glenn's rhetorical feminism
offers an alternative to hegemonic rhetorical histories, theories,
and practices articulated in Western culture. This alternative
theory engages, addresses, and supports feminist rhetorical
practices that include openness, authentic dialogue and
deliberation, interrogation of the status quo, collaboration,
respect, and progress. Rhetorical feminists establish greater
representation and inclusivity of everyday rhetors,
disidentification with traditional rhetorical practices, and
greater appreciation for alternative means of delivery, including
silence and listening. These tenets are supported by a cogent
reconceptualization of the traditional rhetorical appeals,
situating logos alongside dialogue and understanding, ethos
alongside experience, and pathos alongside valued emotion. Threaded
throughout the book are discussions of the key features of
rhetorical feminism that can be used to negotiate cross-boundary
mis/understandings, inform rhetorical theories, advance feminist
rhetorical research methods and methodologies, and energize
feminist practices within the university. Glenn discusses the power
of rhetorical feminism when applied in classrooms, the specific
ways it inspires and sustains mentoring, and the ways it supports
administrators, especially directors of writing programs. Thus, the
innovative theory of rhetorical feminism-a theory rich with tactics
and potentially broad applications-opens up a new field of
research, theory, and practice at the intersection of rhetoric and
feminism.
