patterns or rhetorical strategies
of women from a particular
culture, race, historical era, or
academic field- Recuperation of the
contributions
of women rhetoricians, writers,
readers, or linguists from a
particular race, culture,
historical era, or academic field- Literacy practices of women in
underrepresented groups
including lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transexual- Cross-cultural investigations of
gendered reading, writing, or
speaking- New directions for alternative
rhetorics- Feminist critiques of traditional
rhetoric- Postcolonial feminisms
- Comparisons of language
patterns or rhetorical strategies
of women and men from a
particular race, culture,
historical era, or academic field- Representations of gender in
film and new media- The rhetoric of whiteness
- Examinations of the
intersections of gender and
technology- Feminist studies of
communication within families- Rhetoric and homelessness
