Inventing a Voice is a comprehensive work on the lives and
communication of twentieth-century first ladies. Using a rhetorical
framework, the contributors look at the speaking, writing, media
coverage and interaction, and visual rhetoric of American first
ladies from Ida Saxton McKinley to Laura Bush. The women's
rhetorical devices varied some practiced a rhetoric without words,
while others issued press releases, gave speeches, and met with
various constituencies. All used interpersonal or social rhetoric
to support their husbands' relationships with world leaders, party
officials, boosters, and the public. Featuring an extensive
introduction and chapter on the 'First Lady as a Site of 'American
Womanhood, '' Wertheimer has gathered a collection that includes
the post-White House musings of many first ladies, capturing their
reflections on public expectations and perceived restrictions on
their communication."
