p. 14 – mentions Teachign Writing: Pedagogy, Gender, and Equity by Cynthia Caywood and Gillian Overing: “one of the first books to connect writing and feminism in composition” (PE 1404 T4 1987)
p. 15: Carolyn Ericksen Hill in Writing from the Margins: Power and Pedagogy for Teachers of Composition “reads the label ‘midwives’ back onto male composition theorists active in the 60s and early 70s: Peter Elbow, Ken Macrorie, John Schultz, and William Coles, Jr. Without necessarily claiming them as feminists, she can, with the aid of postmodern theory, gender their approach as femine and place their work in a certain feminist context: they helped ‘birth’ the experiential self.”
