Klappentext zu „Women's Voices of Duty and Destiny “
This book collection is a celebration of women who speak truth to power in the public square. A perfect fit for undergraduate students of rhetoric, gender, religion and history, Women¿s Voices of Duty and Destiny showcases the speech texts of 14 women addressing societal issues from the values of their religious beliefs and discourse communities. Between the tensions of the duty of gender roles and human destiny, these global voices representing different time periods and religions address the thematic issues of faith, society, education, reform, freedom and peacemaking. Written in clear, straightforward language, students will directly encounter the words and voices of leaders who strive to make the world better for all in the quest for human dignity. Each speaker seeks to forward the transcendent value of human freedom as reinforced by her explicit references to the divine. This collection is appropriate for 200-400 level undergraduate classes and offers a broad sampling of women who speak in the public square.

Pressezitat
"Women's Voices of Duty and Destiny is a 'must-have' addition to the bookshelf for any scholar of women's religious rhetoric. Elizabeth W. McLaughlin's book is a sensitive assessment of women's rhetorical contributions to numerous religious traditions. She doesn't shy away from including women, such as Phyllis Schlafly, whose rhetorical contributions do not fit into a traditional feminist canon, but who nonetheless did have a tremendous impact on feminist discourse and American politics."-Christy Mesaros-Winckles, Chair Communication Arts and Sciences, Adrian College
