Description

Retellings: Opportunities for Feminist Research in Rhetoric and Composition Studies
In Retellings: Opportunities for Feminist Research in Rhetoric and Composition Studies, the contributors use the anniversary of the publication of Cheryl Glenn’s Rhetoric Retold: Regendering the Tradition from Antiquity Through the Renaissance, the first book to examine women’s contributions to rhetoric across history, as an opportune moment to assess feminist rhetorical research and test out new possibilities. Together, the essays ask, what does it or should it mean to engage rhetoric from a feminist perspective?
Each chapter addresses one of four aspects of this question, including the place of feminist rhetoric in contemporary (real-world and transnational) politics; the relationship between feminist rhetorical studies and identity studies; the prospects for feminist research methods and methodologies; or the feminist rhetorical commitment to “paying it forward” through teaching and mentoring. Collectively, the essays push scholars to expand the national boundaries of rhetorical inquiry to include women’s roles in global politics. Contributors also engage in intersectional analyses of gender and other vectors of power (including, here, religious affiliation and sexuality), considering identities as epistemic resources for rhetors. To develop richer methods and methodologies, contributors highlight the ethical challenges of research practices ranging from IRB submissions to archival research, critically interrogating the positionality of the researcher with relation to her subjects and materials. Finally, contributors address the needs and interests of diverse readers when they highlight how feminist perspectives challenge traditional models of teaching and mentorship.
Contributors include Heather Brook Adams, Jean Bessette, Michelle F. Eble, Jessica Enoch, Rosalyn Collings Eves, Karen A. Foss, Sonja K. Foss, Lynée Lewis Gaillet, Cheryl Glenn, Anita Helle, Jordynn Jack, A. Abby Knoblauch, Shirley Wilson Logan, Briggite Mral, Krista Ratcliffe, Cristina D. Ramírez, Elaine Richardson, Wendy B. Sharer, and Berit von der Lippe.

Acknowledgments
Retellings would not be possible without the rigorous scholarship, steadfast mentorship, and enduring friendship of Cheryl Glenn. She has touched and supported each person in the collection in deep and important ways, and we want this book to mark her contribution to the field and to our lives. Our appreciation goes to our contributors for their thoughtful arguments, engaging writing, and enduring patience. We’re thrilled that this conversation has made it into print. We are especially grateful to Parlor Press editor David Blakesley for his stewardship, encouragement, and speed. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Parlor Press team. We thank the anonymous reviewers to this collection for their critical feedback; the book is better due to their comments. Funding from the University of Maryland and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (particularly the Chi Omega Term Distinguished Professorship) helped bring this book to production. And finally, we thank our personal support teams: For Jess, Retellings would not have moved from beginning to end without the encouragement from Scott, Jack, Nancy, and Teddy. For Jordynn, this project could not have succeeded without support from Ryon, Penelope, and Frankie.

1 Introduction: The Endless Opportunities for Feminist Research
Jessica Enoch, Jordynn Jack, and Cheryl Glenn
[W]e do not have to compete for bits of female rhetoric, nor do we have to scramble after a few pages of women’s letters. . . . [T]he opportunities for feminist work are endless.
—Cheryl Glenn, Rhetoric Retold, 177–78
A s collaborators, we, Jess, Jordynn, and Cheryl, write this introduction together to mark an anniversary and to set the course for this collection—a collection that takes stock of and imagines new opportunities for feminist rhetorical studies. In 1997, Cheryl published Rhetoric Retold: Regendering the Rhetorical Tradition from Antiquity to the Renaissance , the first continuous history of rhetoric inclusive of women. As two scholars coming of age in the wake of Rhetoric Retold ’s publication, Jess and Jordynn understood and witnessed the wide-ranging influence of this book. Moving into its third edition, taught frequently at the undergraduate and graduate level, and found on students’ comprehensive lists across the country, the book has sustained a significant place in our field’s conversations. Scholars have found Rhetoric Retold useful in studies of African American, Chinese, and Native American women; of rhetorics of the body; and of women politicians, scientists, and journalists. Beyond that, it has been cited by scholars in history, education, literature, and religious studies. But more personal, anecdotal stories also attest to the importance of this text.
The first piece of feminist historiography Jess read in graduate school, this book is now dog-eared and has loose pages, but on page seven is a passage that she continues to come back to and that has propelled her scholarship forward: “histories do (or should do ) something, . . . they fulfill our needs at particular times and places” (Glenn 7). Her work in rhetorical education, historiographic methods, spatial rhetorics, and memory studies has been driven by Cheryl’s invitation to think about what histories should do for us and our students. Jordynn first read Rhetoric Retold in a graduate history of rhetoric seminar while also taking a course on Feminist Science Studies. Rhetoric Retold inspired her dissertation project on women in the history of science. These women, she found, paralleled the women rhetors Glenn studies in that understanding their rhetorics required more than a regendering of the male-dominated history. It necessitated a recognition that history (of rhetoric, of science) should not merely be “compensatory or additive” (Glenn 10), but performative, requiring a rethinking of the conceptual foundations of that field. This insight prompted Jordynn’s dissertation project and first book, Science on the Home Front , where she considers how scientific rhetorics (as part of the institution of science as a whole) continued to disavow women’s contributions and unique perspectives, even during a time when women’s participation in science was actively encouraged.
Of course, we are not alone in acknowledging how Rhetoric Retold has catalyzed our work. A contributor to this volume, Cristina Ramírez, found inspiration in Rhetoric Retold for her recovery of mestiza rhetors . She reflects on her relationship with the book in this way:
As a graduate student, I read chapter one of Rhetoric Retold , “Mapping the Silences, or Remapping Rh
