Oral Argument

Famous quotes containing the words oral and/or argument:

    We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    The argument ad feminam, all the old knives
    that have rusted in my back, I drive in yours,
    ma semblable, ma soeur!
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
