The Rhetoric of Supreme Court Women

More about the book

The book delves into the rhetorical strategies employed by four groundbreaking women on the U.S. Supreme Court, highlighting how Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg navigated gender barriers through their communication skills. In contrast, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan benefited from evolving cultural norms that offered them more rhetorical choices. This analysis provides a rich understanding of political communication and reflects the shifting gender dynamics in American politics from 1981 to 2010.
