Editorial Reviews

Review

Since its publication, the first edition of The Feminist Critique of Language has been a cornerstone of courses on language, gender and power. The revisions and updates in the new edition ensure that it will continue to be indispensible for students and scholars alike.
–Mary Bucholtz, University of California, Berkeley

A clear overview of the way feminist views on language have developed over the years and clarifies the varied complex theoretical perspectives. Invaluable for any student of literature.
–Lambda Rising
