Wendy Sharer's "The Persuasive Work of Organizational Names: The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and the Struggle for Collective Identification" appeared in Rhetoric Review 20:3/4 (2001). According to Sharer, "The article uses Kenneth Burke's rhetorical theory to consider the processes through which a group constructs a sense of collective identity among members.  More specifically, by critically reading archival records from the first year of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, I suggest that the terms an organization selects for its name do not simply or directly signify the members of that organization; rather, the terms in an organizational name are synecdochic structures that stand in for larger, often controversial, arguments about the beliefs and goals of group members."
