Feminist approaches to visual rhetoric

Note to instructors: This exercise is meant to complement a unit on feminist theory within the context of a rhetoric and composition course. At the end of this assignment, you will find a list of suggested readings to aid you in compiling such a unit and to help enhance your students' understanding of what it means to "read" visual rhetoric through a feminist lens.

The questions following each image are drawn from Chapter 14 of Everything's An Argument, titled "Visual Arguments."
