Description: "In this study of the history of rhetoric education, Susan Kates focuses on the writing and speaking instruction developed at three academic institutions founded to serve three groups of students most often excluded from traditional institutions of higher education in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century America: white middle-class women, African Americans, and members of the working class."--BOOK JACKET.
