Righteous Rhetoric: Sex, Speech, and the Politics of Concerned Women for America - AAR Academy Series
Smith, Leslie Dorrough (Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Women's and Gender Studies Faculty, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Women's and Gender Studies Faculty, Avila University)
Through a detailed study of the sexually-charged rhetoric of one of America's largest conservative women's organizations, Concerned Women for America (CWA), Righteous Rhetoric argues that the absolute, ordered platforms for which CWA is known are not the linchpin of its political power. Rather, such absolutes are the byproduct of a more fundamental rhetorical process called "chaos rhetoric", a type of speech designed to create a heightened sense of socialchaos.
