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 fractal in shades of black, dark blue, light blue, orange, yellow, and white. The lower left corner is a right triangle in solid black with the words “Peitho 26.4 Summer 2024 Special issue: Small and Subtle Feminist Rhetorical Doings” in a slightly slanted font, all caps, in yellow. It is inspired by adrienne maree brown’s idea about fractals and patterns: “what we practice on a small scale can reverberate to the largest scale.”
