By analyzing the gendered construction of actio, the bodily dimension of discourse in rhetoric theory, in three for the history of rhetoric meaningful, historical moments from classical antiquity to the 18th and finally to the late 20th century, Lily Tonger-Erk deals with rhetoric as body building power. In doing so, she manages to successfully bridge the gap between a detailed and epoch-spanning history of rhetoric and an analytical gender perspective. This analysis of the development of speakers as rhetoric body building (with the double meaning of education and subjectivization) lays an important foundation for further studies on the rhetoric production of gender and body.
