Description: Unpacks the myriad ways rhetorical and communication theories and feminist intersectional approaches impact one another.
Review Quotes:
"If a new generation of scholars embraces intersectional perspectives as personal as well as scholarly outlooks, then the future of feminist communication research will be substantively different from its past, and every back story entailed in that research, each feminist researcher's lived experience, will be affirming and empowering. This is the transformative potential entailed in this book, and I look forward to seeing it realized." -- from the Foreword by Marsha Houston
"Together, the essays in this collection demonstrate innovative ways by which rhetorical and feminist scholars may better understand the complexities of identity, audience, and discourse." -- Rhetoric and Public Affairs
"This powerful collection ... [is] a unique, valuable resource ... Highly recommended." -- CHOICE
"This collection provides a concentrated focus on rhetoric and intersectionality that is a valuable resource for critics as well as a point of departure for additional criticism. It also offers a new set of feminist rhetorical studies--something overdue in communication studies." -- Alberto González, coeditor of Our Voices: Essays in Culture, Ethnicity, and Communication, Fifth Edition
