Legitimization of Mormon Feminist Rhetors studies how marginalized
groups use rhetorical strategies to craft legitimacy for themselves
and how those in positions of power work to maintain their
authority. Kinney uses archival research to parse the rhetorical
devices employed by Mormon feminist women. The author assumes a
pan-historical methodology by examining four unique examples of
notable Mormon feminist rhetors that stretch across the 189-year
history of this religion: Emmeline B. Wells (1828-1921), Fawn
Brodie (1915-1981), Sonia Johnson (1936-present), and Kate Kelly
(1980-present). Backed by intensive analysis, the author finds
Mormon feminist women take up the ancient rhetorical canons as a
heuristic to cultivate a position of authority for themselves:
Wells employs arrangement patterns, Brodie engages with memory,
Johnson draws upon invention practices, and Kelly applies delivery
strategies. Scholars and students of communication, rhetoric,
religion, and women's studies will find this book particularly
interesting.
