The Rhetorics of Feminism: Readings in Contemporary Cultural Theory and the Popular Press

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.
