The Civically Engaged Woman
Rhetoric and Activism of the Silenced Voice
Description
The Civically Engaged Woman: Rhetoric and Activism of the Silenced Voice introduces readers to lesser-known women living in the United States between 1820 and 1920. The contributors address why their rhetoric, communicative participation, and civic actions were noteworthy and impactful and offer implications for the relevance of their work today.
Through examining these women's communicative engagement, the contributors argue for recognition of their civic contributions and celebration of their lives and legacy; therefore, enlarging our understanding of civic engagement and the heroines and narratives that guide us. Scholars of rhetoric, communication, and women's studies will find this book particularly useful.
