Examines women preachers' strategies for rearranging rhetorical space. In this feminist investigation into the art of preaching - one of the oldest and least-studied rhetorical traditions - Roxanne Mountford explores the relationship between bodies, space, race, and gender in rhetorical performance and American Protestant culture. Refiguring delivery and physicality as significant components of the rhetorical situation, ""The Gendered Pulpit: Preaching in American Protestant Spaces"", now in paperback, examines the strategies of three contemporary women preachers who have transgressed traditions, rearranged rhetorical space, and conquered gender bias to establish greater intimacy with their congregations.

Mountford brings her expertise in the history of rhetoric to this examination of gender and preaching. The result is a splendid and highly literate book that ranges from theory to ethnography - a book that is fun to read and very Informative. - Choice ""The pulpit has traditionally been perceived as a masculine rhetorical space. In this insightful study, Roxanne Mountford examines Protestant women's struggles to claim the pulpit as their own. Women ministers will be utterly fascinated by this book."" - Catherine Brekus, University of Chicago ""The Gendered Pulpit offers an elegant and entertaining exploration of territory that, once forbidden to women, is now being claimed and reshaped by them in exciting ways."" - Nancy Mairs, author of A Troubled Guest: Life and Death Stories ""For all those committed to refiguring rhetorical history, theory, and pedagogy in more open and inclusive ways, this is a must-read."" - Andrea A. Lunsford, Stanford University
