Peitho Journal

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 dark gray background populated by doodled faces of a crowd. At the center of the page the text reads “Coalition as Commonplace” with “Peitho” and “Summer 2023 Volume 25 - Issue 4” written in the corners. Around the central text, several cutout illustrations of hands outlined in bright colors reach vaguely towards the center of the page. The hands are variously posed and some are adorned with accessories (a pride bracelet, a ring, a watch, a band that says “HOPE,” and a tattoo that reads “dissent”). The cover was made by PS Berge, a designer and doctoral candidate in the Texts & Technology program at the University of Central Florida, by commission. Her website can be found at: psberge.com.
