Reviews for A Feminist Legacy: The Rhetoric and Pedagogy of Gertrude Buck (Studies in Rhetorics and Feminisms)
A Feminist Legacy is a serious and well-informed treatment of an important teacher and textbook writer. A particular joy of this study is in its movement beyond Gertrude Buck's better known achievements to a consideration of her political and social involvements, to the meaning behind her approach to argumentation. - Katherine Adams, Loyola University New Orleans
