“…Risa Applegarth's 'Genre, Location, and Mary Austin's Ethos', Patricia Bizzell's 'Frances Willard, Phoebe Palmer, and the Ethos of the Methodist Woman Preacher', Karlyn Kohrs Campbell's 'Agency: Promiscuous and Protean', Julie Nelson Christoph's 'Reconceiving Ethos in Relation to the Personal: Strategies of Placement in Pioneer Writing', Sonja Foss's 'Rhetorical Criticism as Synecdoche for Agency', Casey Ryan Kelly's 'Women's Rhetorical Agency in the American West: The New Penelope', and Nedra Reynolds' 'Ethos as Location: New Sites for Understanding Discursive Activity', all examine ethos in women's writing. 8 Applegarth, Bizzell, Christoph, Kelly, and Reynolds explore women's texts of the nineteenth century.
