Abstract
Through a case study of first lady Rosalynn Carter's 1977 Latin America trip, this essay heeds feminist critics' calls to account for the discursive conditions that enable women's rhetorical performances. Examining the public vocabularies of feminism and foreign policy in the 1970s, I argue that the popular emergence of the terms “equal partnership” and “individual sovereignty” facilitated Carter's performance of her public role.
