This edition of Communication and Gender explores the complexities of gender communication in interpersonal relationships, the educational environment, the media, and the workplace, while offereing strategies that students can use to examine their own communication behaviour and to more fully understand the communication of others.
This publication reevaluates the nature and extent of women’s political alliances, based on archival discoveries as well as new work on politics and law. Grouped into three sections - domestic, court, and kinship alliances - these essays investigate historical documents, drama, and poetry, insisting that female alliances, much like male friendship discourse, had political meaning in early modern England. Female writers discussed are, amongst others, the Cavendish Sisters, Anne Clifford, Aemilia Lanyer, and Katherine Philips.
