“This collection puts forward a groundbreaking methodology for exploring connections between feminist texts across time. Asking critics to momentarily suspend context, content, and media, the contributors foreground similarities between rhetorical strategies that emerged at different moments of feminist activism. This method enables critics to see the interstitial and intersectional relationships between and among feminist rhetorics of all eras, arguments, and media. This methodology enables critics to put into conversation Victorian novels with #LikeALadyDoc, Ida B. Wells with #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, Jane Addams with #EuEmpregadaDomÉstica, women telegraphers with women coders, and early birth control technology with HIV prevention drugs.”—Belinda A. Stillion Southard, author of How to Belong: Women’s Agency in a Transnational World “In their beautifully conceived and timely anthology, Feminist Connections, Katherine Fredlund, Kerri Hauman, and Jessica Ouellette manage what has seemed to be impossible. They have successfully disrupted feminist reception histories while seamlessly illuminating feminist social movement histories, feminist rhetorical strategies (both means and tools), and feminist technological epistemologies. Their collection, anchored in a method they refer to as Rhetorical Transversal Methodology (or RTM), prompts readers to face twenty-first-century questions of feminist rhetorical practices; historiographic relationships, intersections, and trajectories; and the constitution of digital work itself.”—Cheryl Glenn, University Distinguished Professor of English at Penn State University and author most recently of Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope
