Feminine communication styles have been the subject of active investigation since Robin Tolmach Lakoff's 1975 publication of "Language and Woman's Place." This volume adds to that body of research, using both Lakoff's linguistic markers and the rhetorical concept of the double-bind, as discussed by Kathleen Hall Jamieson in "Beyond the Double Bind." The women selected for this study include Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, USA; and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Three genre-specific speech samples from each of the rhetors (the acceptance speech, the professional speech, and the interview). The book concludes with a summary of the findings and an argument for the inclusion of these orators in the rhetorical canon.
