Women's Irony: Rewriting Feminist Rhetorical Histories - Studies in Rhetorics and Feminisms

Synthesizes three decades of scholarship in rhetoric, linguistics, and philosophy to present irony as a critical model for feminist rhetorical historiography that is not linked to humour, lying, or intention. Using irony as a form of ideological disruption, this innovative approach allows scholars to challenge simplistic narratives of who harmed, and who was harmed throughout rhetorical history.
