I thought it was really interesting that African American women were speaking up in the 19th century, it seems almost more than white women at the time. I thought that was really awesome. I don't know if it was because they thought that they had nothing to lose, or if it's a difference in personality. While the book does discuss some white people speaking out against slavery, the more famous outspoken women of the time include Frances Harper and Sojourner Truth.
I also thought it was interesting that Nietzsche said that all language is rhetorical which to me is an important change towards current events. I feel like every ad is clearly rhetorical and so are many news stories and especially photojournalism. I think he was really onto something, when you think about it almost everything is rhetorical according to modern standards.
