The House of My Sojourn: Rhetoric, Women, and the Question of Authority

Více o knize

The book uses architecture as a metaphor to explore the complex relationship between women and rhetoric, portraying it as a house constructed by men in ancient Greece. It argues that while this structure has allowed women some presence, it simultaneously restricts their authority and agency in rhetorical discourse. Sutton contends that efforts to include women in rhetoric often lead to their exclusion from meaningful power, highlighting a systemic issue embedded in the foundations of rhetorical practice.
