  2. Taking Research Notes Taylor, S.O. (1978) “Women in a Double Bind: Hazards of the Argumentative Edge”, CCC (29), pp. 385-89. Position Paper: Theoretical & Anecdotal. College Women. Key Point – Women caught in a double bind: Raised to be conciliatory, but told to write argumentatively. OK article, but based too much on Robin Lakoff and doesn’t provide enough info about the nature of the discourse community. Also tends to over-generalize. “Women students, when they take composition courses, are at an invisible, though real disadvantage, because both the methods and the goals of such classes are alien to them. This fact is unacknowledged or perhaps is unrecognized by the instructor” (Over) Whitmore/Stevenson: Strategies for Engineering Communication
