In June 2015, Bree Newsome scaled the flagpole in front of South
Carolina's state capitol and removed the Confederate flag. The
following month, the Confederate flag was permanently removed from
the state capitol. Newsome is a compelling example of a
twenty-first-century woman rhetor, along with bloggers, writers,
politicians, activists, artists, and everyday social media users,
who give new meaning to Aristotle's ubiquitous definition of
rhetoric as the discovery of the "available means of persuasion."
Women's persuasive acts from the first two decades of the
twenty-first century include new technologies and repurposed old
ones, engaged not only to persuade, but also to tell their stories,
to sponsor change, and to challenge cultural forces that repress
and oppress. Persuasive Acts: Women's Rhetorics in the Twenty-First
Century gathers an expansive array of voices and texts from
well-known figures including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Malala
Yousafzai, Michelle Obama, Lindy West, Sonia Sotomayor, and
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, so that readers may converse with them,
and build rhetorics of their own. Editors Shari J. Stenberg and
Charlotte Hogg have complied timely and provocative rhetorics that
represent critical issues and rhetorical affordances of the
twenty-first century.
