The Rhetorical Arts of Women in Aviation, 1911-1970: Name It and
Take It explores the rhetorical strategies employed by women
involved in aviation between 1911 and 1970. It begins with Harriet
Quimby, who began writing aviation-themed articles for Frank
Leslie's Weekly in 1911, and ends with Jerrie Cobb, one of the
women who underwent a series of rigorous tests in the hopes of
becoming an astronaut. Although one chapter is devoted to the
correspondence between German pilot Thea Rasche and aviatrix ally
Glenn Buffington, the author largely examines how women in the
United States have navigated a developing field that at first
seemed to welcome their participation, but over time created
discriminatory barriers to their advancement. The rhetorics of
African American pilots Willa Beatrice Brown and Bessie Coleman are
analyzed in terms of both women's use of the Chicago Defender as a
means of publicizing their work in aviation. Topics woven
throughout the rhetorical analyses are women's labor, women
aviators and motherhood, and the ways in which women confronted
both sexism and racism during aviation's golden age and beyond.
Scholars of rhetoric, women's studies, race studies, and history
will find this book particularly useful.
