"Feminism" and "rhetoric" have not always been overlapping terms.
While neglected as subjects of scholarly interest for many years,
women were nonetheless developing rhetorical practices and
traditions all along. In recent decades women writers, speakers,
and feminist scholars have forged new theories of and practices for
feminist rhetoric. These women have struggled to see, re-shape, and
re-deploy the rhetorical tradition in ways that not only admit but
embrace and celebrate women and feminist understandings to the
benefit of all people. This volume is the culmination of much of
the work done by those scholars. Edited by the leading experts in
field, Cheryl Glenn and Andrea A. Lunsford, Landmark Essays on
Rhetoric and Feminism earns its significance in several key ways:
it includes work done by scholars from departments of
communication, English, and writing studies as well as a variety of
public intellectuals; it traces a series of encounters between
rhetoric and feminism during the last three decades; and it
highlights five themes that represent the history of encounters
between rhetoric and feminism including (1) recovery and
recuperation, (2) methods and methodologies, (3) practices and
performances, (4) pedagogical applications and implications, and
(5) new theories and histories.

Women's contribution to rhetoric throughout Western history, like
so many other aspects of women's experience, has yet to be fully
explored. In pathbreaking discussions ranging from ancient Greece,
though the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to modern times,
sixteen closely coordinated essays examine how women have used
language to reflect their vision of themselves and their age; how
they have used traditional rhetoric and applied it to women\u2019s
discourse; and how women have contributed to rhetorical theory.
Language specialists, feminists, and all those interested in
rhetoric, composition, and communication, will benefit from the
fresh and stimulating cross-disciplinary insights they offer.
