Imagining Rhetoric recovers what women in the early U.S. imagined instruction and practice in composition should be, and shows how this imagination shaped the possibilities and limitations of female civic rhetoric."--Jacket OP - 279 CN - PE1405.U6 E43 2002eb SN - 9780822978817 SN - 0822978814 SN - 0822941821 SN - 9780822941828 KW - Forten, Charlotte L. : Journal.
