The development of Female Rhetorical Theory.

The research question (thesis) is:
1. Why have there not been more female rheotricians? Are there historical events that brought on a change?

This research question should enable me to probe the relationship between social/cultural/political forces and the development of rhetorical theory.

This research is supposed to lead me to discover a new or different approach to the topic not to report others’ ideas.

I want you to peruse these two sources in addition to other sources from your own choice:

1. Molly Wertheimer, ed., LISTENING TO THEIR VOICES: THE RHETORICAL ACTIVITIES OF RHETORICAL WOMEN. U of South Carolina P, 1997.

2. Women in the History of Rhetoric_, edited by Christine Mason Sutherland. University of Calgary Press, 1999

Please include a brief prospectus about potential publication of the paper.
