Women’s Voices of Duty and Destiny

“Women’s Voices of Duty and Destiny is a ‘must-have’ addition to the bookshelf for any scholar of women’s religious rhetoric. Elizabeth W. McLaughlin’s book is a sensitive assessment of women’s rhetorical contributions to numerous religious traditions. She doesn’t shy away from including women, such as Phyllis Schlafly, whose rhetorical contributions do not fit into a traditional feminist canon, but who nonetheless did have a tremendous impact on feminist discourse and American politics.”–Christy Mesaros-Winckles, Chair Communication Arts and Sciences, Adrian College
