In Greek mythology, Metis’s cunning intelligence and polymorphism are crucial in Zeus’s victory over the Titans. However, the paranoid god eventually swallows Metis and claims her cunning intellect as his own—an act analogous to the patriarchal consumption of women’s voice. The rhetorical concept of  métis  derived from this myth refers to wily, cunning, and polymorphic intelligence. This article explicates the rhetorical concept of  métis  and argues that women have employed  métis  polymorphic rhetoric throughout history to negotiate intersecting oppressions, protest injustice, and engender change. By reexamining the protest rhetoric of early feminist activists Sojourner Truth and Sarah Grimké and connecting their tactics to contemporary scholarship on feminist activism, this article draws attention to  métis  as a consistent determinant and a valuable theoretic framework already residing under the surface of much feminist rhetorical inquiry.
