Linda Aldoory and Elizabeth L. Toth present an innovative socio-ecological model for understanding and building a feminist future for public relations practices. This approach acknowledges previous gaps in scholarship and practice caused by ideological, societal, mediated, and organizational factors constructing norms and expectations for gender, race, and class.

Linda Aldoory is professor of communication and associate dean in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Maryland College Park. She is also affiliate faculty member of the Department of Women's Studies.
