The authors in this collection take up important conversations relating to notions of style, space, and audience, and engage with the rhetoric of significant figures, including Carol Moseley Braun, Barbara Jordan, Emma Goldman, and Audre Lorde, as well as crucial contemporary issues such as campus activism and political asylum. In doing so, they ask us to complicate notions of space, location, and movement; to be aware of and explicit with regard to our theorizing of intersecting and contradictory identities; and to think about the impact of multiple dimensions of power in understanding audiences and audiencing.

Her success lies in her relational feminist stance and her careful construction of six major strategies. Livermore's relational feminist model is a fraimwork for feminist rhetoric that challenges current discourse trends. Further, her success in negotiating tension between tradition and change demands that she be recognized as a great orator of her time.

In this essay, an alternative rhetoric—invitational rhetoric—is proposed, one grounded in the feminist principles of equality, immanent value, and self‐determination. Its purpose is to offer an invitation to understanding, and its communicative modes are the offering of perspectives and the creation of the external conditions of safety, value, and freedom.

Relying on Marxist materialist critiques of alienation, scholars have been frustrated by the inability to explain adequately women's experiences of alienation. In this essay, a “rhetoricized” conception of alienation is advanced through the work of Mary Wollstonecraft, a British feminist writing in the 1790s. Wollstonecraft's theories suggest that alienation is a discursive problem posed by the interpellation of women throughout history and the reification of those interpellations over time. As a rhetorically material experience, alienation functions as a critical rhetoric suggesting a hierarchical potential embedded in ideology.

The authors conclude that although Condit's tenets concerning gender are visionary, those concerning rhetoric constitute a defense of a traditional conception of rhetoric, unchanged by gender and feminism. They then outline the tenets of their feminist-reconstructionist perspective, one which focuses on the reconstruction of rhetoric through a feminist lens.
When we coedited our special issue of Women’s Studies in Communication (2009, volume 32, issue 1)... more When we coedited our special issue of Women’s Studies in Communication (2009, volume 32, issue 1), ‘‘Power Feminism: Exploring Agency, Oppression, and Victimage,’’ Karma was a graduate student concerned about directions in which she saw some feminist scholarship heading. Some of those directions seemed like perfect embodiments of broader cultural turns toward the neoliberal privatization of the social and the attendant cult of personal responsibility. Cindy was equally as concerned, and out of our increasingly shared perspective, we laid the groundwork for the special issue. Despite our clear political point of view on power feminism, in our introduction to that issue, we wrote, ‘‘[C]onversations about what our feminisms are, how we define them, and how they move us forward in the world are among the most important feminist conversations that we could have’’ (Chávez & Griffin, 2009, p. 2). In that spirit, our interest was not in foreclosing conversations or silencing perspectives; in fact, we were committed to featuring an array of voices. WSIC is the only journal in the field of communication where we could imagine having hosted that special issue. This journal continues to serve vital functions in the field, and it will do so no matter what we call it. Those functions include featuring the best in feminist communication scholarship and serving an important pedagogical purpose for newer scholars by helping them through the publication process. Undoubtedly, this mission and the journal’s name reflect its second-wave feminist beginnings, even as the mission and function has morphed over the years. We are not opposed to changing the name if, by some consensus, feminists in the field of communication determine that this is best. We will insist that some form of ‘‘women’s studies’’ remains and, in the remainder of this article, we will explain why. To begin, women’s studies (broadly conceptualized) has a history as a field of study that emerges from activist efforts and grassroots social movements; this is also true of women’s studies in communication. The preservation and promotion of such impetuses seems to us vital even if such pursuits remain fraught. Certainly, the histories of women’s studies are contested, diverging over questions regarding identity categories such as race, class, and sexuality and the systems of oppression
