Bøker av Jane Donawerth

Much of the scholarly exchange regarding the history of women in rhetoric has emphasized women's rhetorical practices. In Conversational Rhetoric, Jane Donawerth traces the historical development of rhetorical theory by women for women, studying the moments when women produced theory about the arts of communication in alternative genres.

Starting with the birth of science fiction in Mary Shelley's ""Frankenstein"", Jane Donawerth examines science fiction and utopian literature written by women. She uses her reading of that work to pinpoint the gender problems that reside in the male-oriented science fiction genre.
