Rhetoric and Communication Studies Gender and Feminist Studies Linguistics and Discourse Analysis

Abstract

Feminist rhetorical theorists have examined the influence of gender on rhetorical style. We initiate here a discussion of the influence of traditional concepts of power on rhetoric and offer reciprocal empowerment as an alternative concept of power. Furthermore, we argue that rhetoric filtered through the prism of reciprocal empowerment encourages a universal give-and-take perspective of influence that can foster a more humane society.
