What’s in a word? What’s in a word that’s almost exclusively used to describe a woman? Several examples probably come to mind, and they’re probably not all flattering.
But why is that? Language is such an essential component of what makes us human, and every word has its own tricky and complex history. Words swirl around us walking down the street, ping at us through our phones, and yell at us in ads in between our favorite songs. Journalist Amanda Montell walks us through these patterns and the effects they have on us through a feminist lens, focusing on words for women, the words women use (and women’s language more broadly – like, Valley Girl speak, anyone?), and what means for us all. Afterall, it’s not like we can escape these words, but maybe we can reclaim and understand them.
Montell takes readers through a close inspection of the words around us and how they’ve morphed and evolved over time in an easy-to-read tell-all about how our language came to be this way and what we can do about it.
