Subject: "In June 2015, Bree Newsome scaled the flagpole in front of South Carolina's State Capitol and removed the Confederate flag, and the following month, the Confederate flag was permanently removed from the State Capitol. Newsome is a compelling example of a twenty-first century women rhetor, along with bloggers, writers, politicians, activists, artists, and everyday social media users, who give new meaning to Aristotle's ubiquitous definition of rhetoric as the discovery of the "available means of persuasion." Women's persuasive acts from the first two decades of the twenty-first century include new technologies, and repurposed old ones, engaged not only to persuade, but also to tell their stories, to sponsor change, and to challenge cultural forces that repress and oppress. Persuasive Acts: Women's Rhetorics in the Twenty-first Century gathers an expansive array of voices and texts, including well-known figures like Hillary Rodham Clinton, Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Obama, Lindy West, Sonia Sotomayor, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, so that you may converse with them, extend them, and build rhetorics of your own. Editors Shari J. Stenberg and Charlotte Hogg have gathered timely and provocative rhetorics that represent critical issues and rhetorical affordances of the twenty-first century"--
