Book Synopsis
Timely and provocative rhetorics representing critical issues of the 21st century.

Trade Review
Persuasive Acts gathers women’s voices in 21st-century theories and public writings. Assembling a chorus from Malala Yousafzai to Michelle Obama to Kimberle Crenshaw to Marjane Satrapi, this collection invites readers to contemplate women’s engagement with education, labor, identity, bodies, politics, civic protest, etc. Extending recovery work of 20th-century scholars, Persuasive Acts is a significant resource for students, teachers and general readers." —Krista Ratcliffe, Arizona State University

"The ‘persuasive acts’ smartly gathered here just might save us. These 21st century women’s voices come just in time. I (almost) regret retiring—I would love to teach students with this book." —Kate Ronald, co-editor of Available Means: An Anthology of Women’s Rhetoric(s)
