Description

Book Synopsis
Applies a translingual and transmodal framework informed by feminist rhetorical practice to three distinct case studies that demonstrate women using unique and effective rhetorical strategies in political, religious, and artistic contexts.

Trade Review
Lives, Letters, and Quilts is an engaging read. The case study chapters provide interesting background and analysis, and as a study of quotidian forms of rhetorical resistance, this book makes a valuable contribution." - Robert E. Terrill, author of Malcolm X: Inventing Radical Judgment and Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama: The Price and Promise of Citizenship
