Feminist theory, audience analysis, and verbal and visual representation in a technical communication writing task

Deborah S. Bosley University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Abstract

Drawing on gender theory and research and on audience theory and research, this essay suggests that although earlier studies would lead us to believe that women would be better at considering audience during a writing task, little difference exists between males and females as they constructed a verbal and visual set of instructions.
