Is it possible that changes in rhetorical practice could alter not just how thought is expressed, but also how it is made? Through close stylistic and rhetorical analysis across contemporary feminist writing--from the cultural theory of Judith Butler to the newspaper journalism of Naomi Wolf--Lynne Pearce demonstrates how feminist thought is created as well as communicated by the frameworks in which it is presented. In linking rhetorical innovation with feminist epistemology in such a direct way, the author provides a book that will be of methodological interest as well as theoretical, providing invaluable insight into the "mysteries" of conception and composition.
