Due to the limited amount of resources and the restrictions laid upon women for practicing rhetoric, it is astonishing how many women were still able to make a significant impact on the field of rhetoric which I feel has paved the way for women’s liberations rights today.

Gale Group. 28 Oct. 2003 . Summary: In this article Michele A. Henkel reviews the account of Frederick Douglass' life as a slave and his escape in The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Henkel points out that there are two kinds of elements found in this narrative, the actual delivery of the events linked together through the syntax of the story and, more importantly, the way in which the model of opposition is exposed.
