"""Rigorously researched, exquisitely written, conceptually deft, and resource rich, this book examines Black women's rhetorical ingenuity from the founding of the nation through the Black Club women's movement. I marvel at the ways this book, in all its historical milieux, perfectly illustrates rhetoric's singular role in unearthing the antidote to today's most enduring questions around race, gender, citizenship, and nation."" --Eric Darnell Pritchard, University of Arkansas ""This book combines rhetorical and intersectional analysis with feminist historiography to provide a more expansive picture of Black women's lives and experiences and to challenge white nostalgia and mediated representations of Black womanhood. Moreover, it offers new evidence of how Black women's social lives and everyday organizing led to fabulous feminist formations geared toward moving the nation closer in line with its governing principles and closer toward a future that sees and hears Black women."" --Ersula Ore, Arizona State University"
