Pat Arneson is associate professor of communication and rhetorical studies at Duquesne University.
This work addresses limitations in current approaches to rhetorical historiography and provides fresh philosophical ground that responds to these limitations. By integrating philosophical ideas, a philosophy of communicative engagement is formed and illustrated with descriptions of three women's successful efforts to change the face of society.
