This collection examines the ways in which women have used
political rhetoric and political discourse to provide leadership,
or assert their right to leadership, at the national level. While
over the years women have broken through traditional roles, they
are still underrepresented in political leadership. In this text,
scholars consider the various factors that continue to restrict
political leadership opportunities for women as well as some of the
ways in which individual women have strategically sought to enact
political power and leadership for themselves. The contributors
analyze various case studies of leadership positions at the
national level, looking at women who have run, been nominated to
run, or appointed to national positions. The interdisciplinary
approach lends itself to: rhetoric; political rhetoric; political
discourse; leadership studies; women's studies; gender issues;
satire; pop culture.
Global Women Leaders: Studies in Feminist Political Rhetoric
demonstrates the ways in which women have used political rhetoric
and political discourse to provide leadership, or assert their
right to leadership, on a global level. This collection fits into
the robust research area of international political women and their
use of language in gaining and maintaining political power. It
casts a wider net in terms of discussing women's efforts to assert
and preserve their roles of authority, particularly when their
audiences may perceive their authority as illegitimate due to
gender. Chapters dedicated to Elizabeth II and Sheikha Moza Bint
Nasser discuss the more traditional ways in which women leaders use
language to construct political power. Other chapters focus on
women who serve as political activists, either individually or as
part of a group, including Aasma Mahfouz of the Egyptian Revolution
of 2011 and the women who help direct United Nations policy through
their speeches in the General Assembly. Global Women Leaders will
appeal to scholars of political communication and international
rhetoric.

Have you ever wondered what the universe has in store for you?
Scientific revelation and planetary crisis are now expanding the
scope of questions that have always stirred when people gaze into
the night sky: How big and how old is all of this? How did we come
to be and where are we going? Does purpose permeate creation? Where
does my story fit within the story of the universe? Join June and
her friends for the ultimate campfire story. Journey with them for
a week in the backcountry, as they take in the evolving saga of the
cosmos and work out their own unfolding lives within that epic
context. Share their everyday-and life-shifting-dramas, from love
and grief to work and creativity, from spiritual practice to
climate crisis, from war to classroom. Unifying this chorus of
voices, feel their common wonder at the symphonic chords and
abiding dilemmas of cosmic history-here writ large on that thin
film of life briefly expressed each summer, between the granite and
hard stars of the high Sierra.
