Abstract
Okay, I admit it. I did not burn my bra as a sign of my feminist affiliations in the mid-60s. (Frankly, I wasn't old enough to wear a bra, let alone burn it.) And I haven't marched in any women's rights rallies, not recently, not ever. (I'm just not overt in that manner.) And I confess, I raised two daughters and dressed them in pink so innocent observers would exclaim, What darling little girls! So what gives me the right or privilege to attest suddenly to feminist claims? Not much in past history except that I am an English teacher ... and that says it all. In these past fifteen years, the gender communication issue has grown and flourished as we try to understand more fully, accept, and improve the relationships of males and females in American society. Sandra Bem (1974), Judy Cornelia Pearson (1985), Barbara Eakins and R. Gene Eakins (1978), Nancy M. Henley (1975), Alleen Pace Nilsen (1977), and others have done considerable research into gender and its relation to verbal and nonverbal communication, perception, attitude, and culture.
