ENG 3280 - Women’s Rhetorics
Surveys persuasive writing by women in every historical epoch from B.C.E. to the present. Although the focus is on Western rhetorics, attention will be paid to rhetorics beyond the Western canon. We will address how and why women’s rhetorics have been excluded from the rhetorical canon until recently, when revisionist histories have redefined rhetoric to include them.
