Trade Review
"Appropriate[ing] Dress is an important contribution to the burgeoning scholarship on nineteenth-century women's rhetoric, with fascinating implications for the analysis of women's public speaking in all eras. Mattingly builds here upon her thorough knowledge of the period... drawing extensively on period illustrations and journalism. She concludes with provocative links to contemporary theoretical concerns in feminist rhetoric - a must-read for any student of women's rhetoric in any period!" - Patricia Bizzell, College of the Holy Cross
