Books by Lana F. Rakow

Going beyond Dewey's reputation in received histories in communication, this book documents his role beginning at the University of Michigan in 1884 until his death in 1952 in establishing a view of communication as the means by which associated life and adaptation to the environment is possible.

Examines the work of feminist theorists who have challenged traditional communication theory, contributing to the development of feminist communication theory by identifying its important contours, shortcomings, and promise. This book argues that feminist communication theory must address theories of gender, communication, and social change.
