Endnotes

  1. See, for example, Foss, Foss, & Griffin (1999). Even within this substrata of feminist critiques there is a great deal of difference. Davis-Popelka and Wood (1997), and Hallstein (1999) go so far was to suggest that there is no solid standpoint theory.
  2. For an example of rhetorical theorists attempting to derive a rhetorical theory from a single feminist writer see Foss and Griffin's (1992) comparison of Starhawk to the standards of Kenneth Burke.
  3. See Rudd, Dobos, Vogl, and Beatty (1997) for example.
  4. Gilligan's research has been criticized by a number of feminist scholars. Wood claims that Gilligan's work is based on "precarious generalization" and moves "from limited and unrepresentative data to quite broad generalizations of women . . ." (1992, 3-4).
  5. Biologically based studies of language can be traced back at least to Susanne K. Langer (1960).
  6. See Steeves. The work of Margaret Mead, Anke Erhardt, Patricia Goldman, Sarah Hardy, Annelisa Korner, Eleanor Maccoby and many female scientists support the view that sex roles are not learned but are biological.
  7. Condit, (1997).
  8. See particularly Condit.
  9. MacKinnon played an instrumental role in the Butler case in Canada which helped re-write obscenity rules there.
  10. In the book, MacKinnon reveals her influence on the evolving nature of obscenity laws in Canada.
