{"product_id":"the-womans-page-janice-fiamengo-9780802095374","title":"The Woman's Page: Journalism and Rhetoric in Early Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, journalism, politics, and social advocacy were largely male preserves. Six women, however, did manage to come to prominence through their writing and public performance: Agnes Maule Machar, Sara Jeannette Duncan, E. Pauline Johnson, Kathleen Blake Coleman, Flora MacDonald Denison, and Nellie L. McClung. \u003cem\u003eThe Woman's Page\u003c\/em\u003e is a detailed study of these six women and their respective works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the diverse sources of their rhetorical power, Janice Fiamengo assesses how popular poetry, journalism, essays, and public speeches enabled these women to play major roles in the central debates of their day. A few of their names, particularly those of McClung and Johnson, are still well known today, although studies of their writings and speeches are limited. Others are almost entirely unknown, an unfortunate fact given the wit, intelligence, and passion of their writing and self-presentation. Seeking to return their words to public attention, \u003cem\u003eThe Woman's Page\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how these women influenced readers and listeners regarding their society's most controversial issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janice Fiamengo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802095372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802095374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2008 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 287","brand":"Janice Fiamengo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46070243262719,"sku":"9780802095374","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c90252ff-60f4-4fd6-816a-e00a01fa28a8.jpg?v=1724242683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-womans-page-janice-fiamengo-9780802095374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
