Using an intersectional and transcultural approach, Erin Clark fuses the well-documented surge of work in feminist technical communication throughout the 1990s with the larger social justice turn in the discipline. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first book to situate feminisms and technical communication in relationship as the focal point, \u003ci\u003eFeminist Technical Communication\u003c\/i\u003e traces the thread of feminisms through technical communication's connection to social justice studies. Clark theorizes \"slow crisis,\" a concept made readable to technical communicators by apparent feminisms that can help technical communicators readily recognize and address social justice problems. Clark then applies this framework to the Deepwater Horizon Disaster, an extended crisis that has been publicly framed by a traditional view of efficiency that privileges economic impact. Through rich description of apparent feminist information-gathering techniques and a layered analysis this study offers application far beyond this single disaster, making available new crisis-response possibilities that consider the economy without eliding ecological and human health concerns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFeminist Technical Communication\u003c\/i\u003e offers a methodological approach to the systematic interrogation of power structures that operate on hidden misogynies. This book is useful to technical communicators, scholars of technical communication and rhetoric, and readers interested in gender studies and public health and is an ideal text for graduate-level seminars focused on feminisms, social justice, and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Clark\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English at East Carolina University.
