Cheryl Glenn is Distinguished Professor of English at Pennsylvania State University and Director of the Program in Writing and Rhetoric. Her many scholarly publications include Rhetorical Education in America; Unspoken: A Rhetoric of Silence (SIU Press); Silence and Listening as Rhetorical Arts (SIU Press); and Landmark Essays in Rhetoric and Feminism.
"As readers of previous works by Glenn have come to expect, her
writing at both the structural and line-by-line level is
straightforward and clear. Readers don't have to strain to discern,
nor is meaning occluded or filled with jargon-laded prose, fitting
the inclusive mission of rhetorical feminism. . . . Hope, as the
title suggests, undergirds the entire book, and I finish the text
persuaded to be hopeful, mindful that my positionality and
investment in the field leave me a receptive reader."--Charlotte
Hogg, Rhetoric Review " A tour de force through the trajectory of
feminist rhetorics, Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope
turns away from hegemonic rhetoric and the Western rhetorical
canon, reappraising rhetorical engagement to consider "attention to
marginalized audiences; respect for vernaculars, experiences, and
emotion; a reshaping of the rhetorical appeals; and uses of
alternative delivery systems""--Margaret Goss Stephanie R. Larson,
Rhetoric Society Quarterly "Glenn's thoroughly researched work on
feminism and rhetoric crystalizes issues, resolves many theoretical
incompatibilities, provides a spectrum of methodologies for
analysis and criticism, and offers an emotionally elegant plea of
hope for the future of rhetorical feminism. Without question, the
most coherent, thorough, and insightful treatment of the subject
that I have read."--Richard Leo Enos, author of Greek Rhetoric
before Aristotle "Cheryl Glenn's latest opus is a book rhetoricians
engaged in public life have been waiting for, a work by a
distinguished scholar anchored in both rhetoric and feminism. In
eight eloquent chapters Glenn develops a compelling argument for
moving rhetorical feminism from highbrow scholarship into its
larger transformative virtue, or 'hope.' This is engaged
scholarship at its most luminous and destined to be a reference
work for many years to come."--Philippe-Joseph Salazar, author of
Words Are Weapons: Inside ISIS's Rhetoric of Terror "Rhetorical
Feminism and This Thing Called Hope serves two important functions:
it provides readers a historical account of how the field of
feminist rhetoric emerged within rhetoric and composition studies;
it also provides a new concept and theory, rhetorical feminism,
which Glenn offers as a means for working toward 'equality, social
justice, coalition across differences, inclusion, representation,
and ever-developing rhetorical effectiveness.'"--Krista Ratcliffe,
coeditor of Rhetorics of Whiteness: Postracial Hauntings in Popular
Culture, Social Media, and Education "When you open the pages of
Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope you are in for an
invigorating ride. From Glenn's meticulous overview of the
relationship between feminism and rhetoric to her framework for and
exploration of what she identifies as "rhetorical feminism," to her
transformative discussion of methods and methodologies, to her wise
(and often witty) advice about teaching, mentoring, and
administering--this book speaks eloquently and passionately to the
work we must do to inhabit and perform rhetorical feminism. Best of
all, it gives reasons to trust in "this thing called
hope."Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope--Andrea A.
