| Summary |
"Survivor Rhetoric is a collection of original essays that discuss the language of abused women and girls. Written by feminist scholars from a variety of disciplines, including literary studies, psychology, law, and criminal justice, the essays examine narratives from diverse sources, including American evangelicals, survivors of child sexual abuse, battered women who have killed their abusive partners, and elite or highly educated women represented in the mainstream media."--Jacket |
