Rhetorical education in turn-of-the-century U.S. women's journalism / Grace Wetzel.

"At the end of the nineteenth century, newspapers powerfully shaped the U.S. reading public, fostering widespread literacy development and facilitating rhetorical education. Rhetorical Education in Turn-of-the-Century U.S. Women's Journalism illuminates the pedagogical contributions of three newspaperwomen to show how the field became a dynamic site of public participation, relationship building, education, and activism in the 1880s and 1890s"-- Provided by publisher.
