Bücher von Karlyn Kohrs Campbell

Selecting thirty-seven key orators, Karlyn Kohrs Campbell provides entries on a diverse group of women. Entries conclude with information on primary sources, critical works, key rhetorical documents, and selected sources of historical and biographical information.

This volume, the second of two companion biographical dictionaries, provides extensive entries on 31 women orators active since 1925. It includes extraordinary women, such as Helen Keller and Eleanor Roosevelt and women who have been active in the women's movement as well as those, such as Phyllis Schlafly, who have been actively anti-feminist.

In these two volumes, Campbell provides a basic understanding of two processes: the development of the rhetoric used by the women who argued for equal rights, and the constraints and sanctions applied to those women who affronted the norms of society's expectation that true women were seldom seen and never spoke in public.
