Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the first study of the reform oratory of the "silver-tongued" temperance leader, Frances Willard. It provides a critical analysis of the speaking style of this influential late nineteenth century suffragette, prohibitionist, and Christian leader of women. Part of Greenwood's Great American Orators Series, this volume also provides texts of representative speeches, a chronology, and a bibliography of the significant primary and secondary sources of this speaker, who had a considerable impact on American reform oratory.

About the Author
RICHARD W. LEEMAN is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
