However, there is a growing gap between the promise of voice and its actual existence, with communicative injustice operating in more insidious ways.

It examines how, particularly for women, this represents a significant departure from the historical idealization of silence and demureness. However, the author contends that there is a widening and harmful gap between the alluring promise of voice and the reality of voice as it exists. While brutal instruments like the ducking stool and scolds bridle are no longer employed to punish women's speech, Kay suggests that communicative injustice now operates in much more insidious ways. The diverse chapters explore the mediated 'voices of women, including Monica Lewinsky, Hannah Gadsby, Diane Abbott, and Yassmin Abdel-Magied, as well as the challenges and opportunities of gossip, nagging, and the 'traumatized voice' in television talk shows. It critiques the optimistic claims about the 'unleashing of women's voices' post-#MeToo and examines how women's speech continues to be trivialized and devalued. Communicative justice, the author argues, is not about empowering individuals to 'find their voice' but about collectively transforming the entire communicative terrain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunicative justice, the author argues, is not about empowering individuals to 'find their voice, but about collectively transforming the whole communicative terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe diverse chapters explore the mediated 'voices of women, including Monica Lewinsky, Hannah Gadsby, Diane Abbott, and Yassmin Abdel-Magied, as well as the challenges and opportunities of gossip, nagging, and the 'traumatized voice' in television talk shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt critiques the optimistic claims about the 'unleashing of women's voices' post-#MeToo and examines how women's speech continues to be trivialized and devalued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 273g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030472894\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2020\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jilly Boyce Kay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103000916218,"sku":"9783030472894","price":63.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646244659610_book.jpg?v=1646932305","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/gender-media-and-voice-communicative-injustice-and-public-speech-9783030472894","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
