Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An original study that shows how rhetorically skillful women made the use of terrorism an effective weapon in their efforts to win the vote."—Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, University of Minnesota "An interesting and challenging work. . . . Clearly organized and well-argued."--Martha Solomon Watson, Maryland at College Park

Reseña del editor:

Cheryl R. Jorgensen-Earp provides a new understanding of the recurrent rhetorical need to employ conservative rhetoric in support of a radical cause. Her study challenges the common view that the suffragettes' use of military metaphors, their vilification of the government, and their violent attacks on property were signs of hysteria and self-destruction. Instead, what emerges is a picture of a deliberate, if controversial, strategy of violence supported by a rhetorical defense of unusual power and consistency.
