Purpose

WHAT: Imagined rhetorical discourse in a conversational salon during which Scudery attempts to lead a group of women not used to following

TOPIC: The understanding of rhetoric as the construction of knowledge, and its meaning as it applies to the lives of women and the choices they make, regardless of the times in which they lived

WHEN: An imagined digital space that could be anytime, anywhere, a place that looks a lot like Enchanted Rock near Austin if we wore togas as we took in the view of a nearby lake (see blog title photo above)

WHY: Because of the compelling possibilities of what these ladies might say to each other
