Abstract
When in 1986 Brenda Dervin devoted her ICA (International Communication Association) presidential address to the subject of feminist scholarship and communication, it was a courageous and daring departure from tradition. The conventional topics of presidential addresses – variations on the grand themes of communication theory, method or structure – were considered weighty and worthy of these occasions. But feminism? At best, surely this was a minority interest, with no claim to be awarded the gravitas naturally accorded to the canonical issues of communication. It was precisely this assumption that Dervin set out to question in her presidential lecture.
