Standing in the Intersection
Power, Feminisms, and Coalitional Agency
Discussions of or feminism have populated the pages of media journals for some time now as voices of feminism's Third Wave, as well as some from the Second, have proclaimed that feminism is no longer needed; at the very least, women should stop talking about oppression and engage their own power. With Hillary Clinton's near miss as the democratic presidential nominee, and Sarah Palin's unexpected GOP vice presidential nomination, surely those voi…
Mary Ashton Rice Livermore's Relational Feminist Discourse
Mary Ashton Rice Livermore is one of the few women's rights activists whose ideas were received enthusiastically by the general public. Her success lies in her relational feminist stance and her careful construction of six major strategies. Livermore's relational feminist model is a framework for feminist rhetoric that challenges current discourse trends. Further, her success in negotiating tension between tradition and change demands that she be…
Transforming Rhetoric Through Feminist Reconstruction
In this response to Condit's essay, the tenets of her gender diversity perspective are outlined and addressed. The authors conclude that although Condit's tenets concerning gender are visionary, those concerning rhetoric constitute a defense of a traditional conception of rhetoric, unchanged by gender and feminism. They then outline the tenets of their feminist-reconstructionist perspective, one which focuses on the reconstruction of rhetoric thr…
Beyond persuasion
Most traditional rhetorical theories reflect a patriarchal bias in the positive value they accord to changing and thus dominating others. In this essay, an alternative rhetoric—invitational rhetoric—is proposed, one grounded in the feminist principles of equality, immanent value, and self‐determination. Its purpose is to offer an invitation to understanding, and its communicative modes are the offering of perspectives and the creation of the exte…
Rhetoricizing alienation
Feminist scholars have grappled with the issue of women's experiences of alienation in diverse ways. Relying on Marxist materialist critiques of alienation, scholars have been frustrated by the inability to explain adequately women's experiences of alienation. In this essay, a “rhetoricized” conception of alienation is advanced through the work of Mary Wollstonecraft, a British feminist writing in the 1790s. Wollstonecraft's theories suggest that…

Women as communicators
In 1987, Spitzack and Carter made a call for a greater understanding of the notion of women as communicators. While feminist scholars have explored the various aspects of this notion both before and after Spitzack and Carter's call, the work of Mary Daly, a radical philosopher and theologian, can be used to develop this conceptualization in a more comprehensive way. A theory of women as communicators developed from Daly's writings reveals the exi…
