Teresa of Avila and the rhetoric of femininity
Shows how author's teacher and reformer used exceptional rhetorical skills to defend her ideas at a time when women were denied participation in theological discourse. This title correlates the stylistic techniques of humility, irony, obfuscation, and humor with social variables such as the marginalized status of pietistic groups.
