About This Book

Writing a Progressive Past: Women Teaching and Writing in the Progressive Era traces the lineage of writing instruction during the Progressive Era, from the influences of John Dewey, to the graduate program designed and run by Fred Newton Scott. Finally, it explores two sites of writing instruction run by Scott’s graduates: one at Wellesley College and one at Mount Holyoke College. Defying the myth that rhetorical education was in decline at this time, Writing a Progressive Past uses a feminist framework to show a rich tradition of progressive teaching and writing practices. It emphasizes the work of early writing program administrators as they negotiated the boundaries of teaching and administering writing and offers historical models for those attempting to design their own feminist and progressive classrooms.
