Historians of rhetoric have long worked to recover women's
education in reading and writing, but have only recently begun to
explore women's speaking practices, from the parlor to the platform
to the varied types of institutions where women learned
elocutionary and oratorical skills in preparation for professional
and public life. This book fills an important gap in the history of
rhetoric and suggests new paths for the way histories may be told
in the future, tracing the shifting arc of women's oratorical
training as it develops from forms of eighteenth-century rhetoric
into institutional and extrainstitutional settings at the end of
the nineteenth century and diverges into several distinct streams
of community-embodied theory and practice in the twentieth.
Treating key rhetors, genres, settings, and movements from the
early republic to the present, these essays collectively challenge
and complicate many previous claims made about the stability and
development of gendered public and private spheres, the decline of
oratorical culture and the limits of women's oratorical forms such
as elocution and parlor rhetorics, and women's responses to
rhetorical constraints on their public speaking. Enriching our
understanding of women's oratorical education and practice, this
cutting-edge work makes an important contribution to scholarship in
rhetoric and communication.
