Feminism and Composition Studies: In Other Words

by Susan C. Jarratt (Editor)

Feminism and Composition In Other Words is a feminist project that boldly places at its center differences among women. Topics discussed include American history, politics, language, racism, pedagogy, contingent labor in the teaching of writing, e-mail behavior, and the need for educational and institutional reform. Teachers, graduate students, administrators, and feminists will find valuable the critiques, theoretical as well as personal, contained in this unusually honest and thought-provoking volume.

The very first Gender Studies class I took was a Gender in Comp & Rhetoric course, and this was one of the texts we used.
