Although it is well known in other fields the concept of resilience has not been addressed explicitly by feminist rhetoricians. This collection develops it in readings of rhetorical situations across a range of social contexts and national cultures. Contributors demonstrate that resilience offers an important new conceptual frame for feminist rhetoric with emphasis on agency change and hope in the daily lives of individuals or groups of individuals disempowered by social or material forces. Collectively these chapters create a robust conception of resilience as a complex rhetorical process redeeming it from its popular association with individual heroism through an important focus on relationality community and an ethics of connection. Resilience in this volume is a specifically rhetorical response to complicated forces in individual lives. Through it Feminist Rhetorical Resilience widens the interpretive space within which rhetoricians can work.
