Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Communication.
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 1995 speech, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights,” delivered to the Fourth United Nations Conference on Women, and Laura Bush’s March 8, 2002, International Women’s Day Address, delivered to the U.N. Using Bonnie J. Dow and Mari Boor Tonn’s (1993) conception of political feminine style, this analysis argues that first lady rhetoric represents significant political speech by women and that political feminine style is a useful analytical tool for studying the words of female political rhetors. Additionally, this analysis suggests implications for Dow and Tonn’s methodology, as well as implications for the study of speeches by first ladies.
