This essay treats the rhetorical movement called feminism. It argues that the two feminist social movements, one from 1848 and the other from 1963, are one rhetorical movement. Feminism as a rhetorical movement is typified by an ideological conflict between the concepts of “womanhood” and “personhood” and by the rhetorical strategies summed up by the term “consciousness raising.“
