SUMMARY:Discovering History Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Rebels in Corsets: The Embodied Rhetoric of the Women’s Suffr
 age Movement\n\nThe story of the women’s suffrage movement is often told
  (even by US historians) as a peaceful transition by which white male poli
 ticians happily gave women the right to vote. This could not be further fr
 om the truth. The movement for women’s suffrage was a 72-year struggle t
 hat demanded a great deal from women emotionally\, politically\, and physi
 cally. This lecture looks at what it was like to be a woman in the 19th ce
 ntury with little power to change her circumstances because she did not ha
 ve access to the ballot box\, how it was that women became convinced in th
 e 1840s that it was time to take on that struggle\, and how they finally w
 on it through rhetorical strategies that might not look radical to us now 
 but then appeared so radical as to have been called “disgusting.”\n\nS
 usan Trollinger is professor of English at the University of Dayton where 
 she teaches courses on writing and rhetoric. She earned her Bachelor’s d
 egree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and h
 er Master’s and PhD in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of
  Pittsburgh. Her first book\, Selling the Amish: The Tourism of Nostalgia 
 (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012)\, explores Amish Country tourism e
 specially in eastern Ohio. In her more than ten years of research for the 
 book\, she learned a great deal about Amish culture and its significance f
 or all who are not Amish\, which she enjoys sharing with others. Her secon
 d book\, titled Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins Uni
 versity Press\, 2016) and co-authored with her husband\, William Vance Tro
 llinger\, Jr.\, provides a close reading of the arguments and appeals at t
 he Creation Museum in Petersburg\, Kentucky as well as situates those argu
 ments and appeals within the long history of Protestant fundamentalism in 
 the US. She has been interviewed in a number of media outlets including CS
 pan-2’s BookTV\, RadioWest\, the Washington Post\, and GQ.\n\nThis event
  is sponsored by the Washington County Public Library\, and is FREE and op
 en to the public.
