- Title
My Career and the “Rhetoric of” Technical Writing and Communication.
- Authors
Schuster, Mary Lay
- Abstract
The article focuses on the evolution of technical writing and communication. She takes us through the sudden explosion of this domain in the 1970s, when more women joined the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW). The author attended a council, led by Marilyn Schauer Samuels, in which program leaders would meet and solve problems. Finally, the author cautions about professionals not losing their niche in this field and shifting focus from technical communication to rhetorics.
