Doug, A very good source for rhetoric / identity / social change is Jay Lemke's Textual Politics: Discourse and Social Dynamics, London: Taylor and Francis, 1995. The entire book is relevant; however, there's a particular chapter on gender and textual politics. Lemke's perspective is exceptionally interesting because he approaches rhetoric from a very interdisciplinary perspective. As you may know, he's a professor of Education at CUNY, but he's also a physicist. Jean -- Prof. Jean S.
