Summary
The issue of the civil rights of women and more generally of the role of women in public life is another great issue where the importance of rhetoric has been felt by both the advocates of the womens movement and its critics. This section consists of a selection of speeches that mimics the contentious character of this question. The speakers include Sojourner Truth, Susan Anthony, Joseph Jewell Dodge, Lucy Parkman Scott, Gloria Steinem, Phyllis Schlafly, Samantha Powers, and Christina Hoff Sommers.
