In Mary M. Lay’s (1991) article “Feminist Theory and the Redefinition of Technical Communication,” she explored “how current views of scientific objectivism and the adoption of ethnographic studies-particularly those of collaborative writing-necessitate a new and, perhaps, revolutionary affiliation for technical communication and feminist theory” (p. 349). Lay analyzed six common characteristics of feminist theory, three issues that divide feminists, the collaboration aspect of feminist theory in technical communication, standpoint feminists, the awareness of both audience and subject, and ethnographic studies. Lay’s purpose was to demonstrate how the “interdisciplinary nature of technical communication will lead the field in the direction of feminist theory,” which necessitates a redefining of the definition (p. 365). Lay’s intended audience was skeptical technical communicators and scholars in search of broadening the field even further. Lay articulated a convincing argument and expanded how technical communication is understood, but she still has unanswered questions that should be answered to support her claims.
