Experimenting at Home: Writing for the Nineteenth-Century Domestic Workplace.

Lippincott, Gail

Technical Communication Quarterly, v6 n4 p365-80 Fall 1997

Examines selected texts by Ellen Swallow Richards, a 19th-century scientist who wrote for a variety of audiences. Finds that her audience awareness anticipates modern technical communication practices and alerts scholars to examine gender, class, and other social issues in historical documents as well as current pragmatic discourse.
