Despite various obstacles, women transformed forests, parlors, dining rooms, ocean liners, classrooms, auditoriums, and prisons into vibrant spaces for ritual argument. There, they not only learned to speak eloquently and argue persuasively but also used debate to establish a legacy, explore difference, engage in intercultural encounter, and articulate themselves as citizens. These debaters engaged with the issues of the day, often performing, questioning, and occasionally refining norms of gender, race, class, and nation. In tracing their involvement in an activity at the heart of civic culture, Woods demonstrates that debating women have much to teach us about the ongoing potential for debate to move arguments, ideas, and people to new spaces"-- Publisher's description. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Debates and debating|zGreat Britain|xHistory. 650 0 Debates and debating|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Public speaking for women|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Public speaking for women|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Debates and debating|xSocieties, etc.|xHistory. 650 7 HISTORY / United States / 19th Century.|2bisacsh 653 Women debaters 710 2 Project Muse. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781611862959|z1611862957|w(DLC) 2017055642|w(OCoLC)1031422924 830 0 Rhetoric and public affairs series. 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 914 on1045037162 947 MARCIVE Processed 2023/11/09 994 92|bCKE
