• In Event: Scholar to Scholar Presents: Rhetorician's Nook

Abstract

History has been made and written by men. Even the realm of rhetoric has its influential men like Plato and Aristotle, who developed the concepts for public speaking with only men in mind.
However, women have also made contributions to the field of rhetoric. As other disciplines have excluded women , so has the field of rhetoric.
Feminism and rhetoric can be viewed hand in hand, or building bridges between the past, present and future.
