“…In the 1970s and 1980s, feminist scholars in the history of Composition and Rhetoric worked to rediscover and reconstruct the efforts of Buck and other early figures of feminist rhetoric (Allen, 1986;Burke, 1978;Campbell, 1989;Mulderig, 1984;Weir, 1989; see also Kitzhaber, 1953). By the 1990s, Buck was cemented as an important subject of works reconstructing the traditions of rhetoric and composition studies (Bordelon, 1998;Donawerth, 2002;L'Eplattenier, 1999;Lunsford, 1995;Sutherland & Sutcliffe, 1999;Vivian, 1994). Campbell (1996) collected Buck's most significant works together in one volume, and Bordelon (2007) published the most extensive study focused solely on Gertrude Buck's work and life.…”
