Gender and Rhetorical Space in American Life, 1866-1910
Solid (albeit at times repetitive) critique of the parlor rhetoric of the postbellum period and the turn of the 20th century that encouraged and even forced women back into the parlor/home, erased female orators from the history book and gendered available means. The primary sources are first rate--and you'll be shocked how some of these writers on etiquette were telling women how to act. Nan Johnson explores and exposes a rhetoric of silencing painted as "moral duty." Fascinating stuff.
