Editorial Reviews
Review
Whether you're a writer, a journalist, or just a humanist, this dictionary is essential for defining words that are potentially biased, racist, sexist, damaging, condescending or even outdated. Words can unknowingly do damage; this is an indispensible resource that passes along the new meanings of our ever-changing language so that we can communicate without offending. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

femme fatale avoid; there is no parallel for a man, and this term perpetuates the myth of woman as Eve/temptress/siren. One of the most valuable rules for good writing or speaking is "show, don't tell." Instead of telling that someone is a "femme fatale," show how that person affects others.
