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.

Volume 28, Number 3: Spring 2026

Cover Art: “They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds,” copyright 2019 by Marta Shore. We are grateful for the generous permission granted by Ms. Shore to use her crop art and photo for the journal’s cover. Crop art is a venerated Minnesota tradition, with many works created to make activist, progressive statements. Ms. Shore has won several recognitions for this and other work at the Minnesota State Fair. The phrase in this work is a derivation of words written by the poet Dinos Christianopoulos. “They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds” is currently on display at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.
