Liane Malinowski, PhD '18, recently received an Honorable Mention for the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition's (CFSHRC) 2026 Winifred Bryan Horner Outstanding Book Award for her book City Housekeeping: Women’s Labor Rhetorics and Spaces for Solidarity, 1886-1911.
The Winifred Bryan Horner Outstanding Book Award is presented biennially for work in the field of composition and rhetoric to recognize outstanding scholarship and research in the areas of feminist pedagogy, practice, history, and theory.
CFSHRC explains that Malinowski’s City Housekeeping "goes beyond conventional labor movement studies by revealing and analyzing women’s rhetorics in general–with a particular focus on the value of networking feminist studies of labor relations in order to attain new perspectives."
Last year, Malinowski was interviewed about City Housekeeping on The Big Rhetorical Podcast.
Malinowski is assistant professor of Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
