Wendy B. Sharer explores the rhetorical and pedagogical practices
through which two prominent post suffrage organizations - the
League of Women Voters and the Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom - challenged the conventions of male-dominated
political discourse and trained women as powerful rhetors. ""Vote
and Voice"" is the first book-length study to address the writing
and speaking practices of members of women's political
organizations in the decade after the suffrage movement. During
those years, women still did not have power within deliberative and
administrative organs of politics, despite their recent
enfranchisement. Because they were largely absent from diplomatic
circles and political parties, post-suffrage women's organizations
developed rhetorical practices of public discourse to push for
reform within traditional politics. ""Vote and Voice"" is
historically significant as well as pedagogically beneficial for
instructors who connect rhetorical education with public
participation by integrating writing and speaking skills into a
curriculum that aims to prepare educated students and active
citizens.
