Feminist Rhetorical Praxis: Everyday Feminism as Public Agora
Journal Title: Res Rhetorica - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This essay examines the feminist rhetorical practices of the online digital media site Everyday Feminism. Focusing on the website’s social circulation (Royster and Kirsch 2012), we contend that Everyday Feminism functions as a public agora where webbed cyberfeminist rhetorical practices (Blair, Gajjala, and Tulley 2009) have a unique potential to reach public audiences and circulate in various social networks in order to potentially educate and empower others, foster conversations, and build alliances across lines of difference, time, and space.
