Criticism, Wntr, 1999 by Samantha Blackmon
The text is drawn together by Diana Helene Miller's essay, "The Future of Feminist Rhetorical Criticism," which details the accomplishments of feminist critics and their use of feminist rhetorical criticism. Miller claims that as recently as 1989 there was no such thing as feminist rhetorical criticism and states that in relation to the dominant tradition, feminist criticism remains marginalized as it has failed to radically raise any fundamental rhetorical concepts. She also outlines the continuing struggle to bring feminist criticism from the margins to the center.
Wertheimer has edited a clear and concise history of the rhetorical tradition of women of the world. While some of the essays do not satisfy the claims they set forth, they are interesting and informative on both a historical and theoretical level.
