Peitho: Journal of the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric

Peitho is the peer-reviewed journal of the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition.

Published quarterly, Peitho seeks to encourage, advance, and publish original research in the history of rhetoric and composition. We invite article-length submissions on a wide range of topics related to feminist theories and gendered practices. We also invite shorter submissions for “Recoveries and Reconsiderations,” an annual forum for sharing innovative perspectives on existing feminist work, as well an incubator for new feminist research projects.

Cover Art: A photo taken by Associate Editor Jennifer Nish showing a metal post with a flyer pasted to it on a street in a city, with a bright blue sky with clouds. The flyer is black and white and says “SOS Iran,” “Femme vie liberté,” and the hashtags #sosiran, #jinamahsaamini, and #betheirvoice. It also has a drawing of a bird in a heart with drops of blood dripping from the bottom tip of the heart. The purpose of the flyer is to support women protesting compulsory wearing of the hijab. Under the flyer, also on the post, are the words “Peitho 27.3 Spring 2025” in an orange graffiti-inspired font.
