The nineteen essays in the collection extend existing definitions of rhetoric and enrich conventional knowledge of rhetorical history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her introduction Molly Meijer Wertheimer traces the patriarchal nature of traditional rhetorical histories as well as the continuing debate about how best to write women into rhetoric's historical record. The volume's essays advance rhetorical theory by examining exceptional women rhetoricians and their unusual rhetorical practices and strategies. Covering a diverse range of rhetorical pursuits and historical eras, the selections look closely at such fascinating topics as the bold speech of ancient Egyptian women, the rhetorical genres of mother's manuals and women's commercial writings in the Middle Ages, the sexual stereotyping of prose style in rhetorical theory of the Enlightenment, and exhortations for racial uplift by nineteenth-century African American women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Meijer Wertheimer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157003172X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570031724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.65h x 6.05w x 1.09d","brand":"Molly Meijer Wertheimer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311077839103,"sku":"9781570031724","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdaf1b5d-991f-499c-b71e-4bdf0cd5ff6e.jpg?v=1730888047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-to-their-voices-molly-meijer-wertheimer-9781570031724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
