Language and Woman's Place

Language and Woman's Place by Robin Tolmach Lakoff

The 1975 publication of Language and Woman's Place, with its argument that language is fundamental to gender inequality, inaugurated language and gender research. This volume presents the original text along with commentaries by Lakoff and 26 other leading scholars of language, gender, and sexuality. The new edition places the text in contemporary context for a new generation of readers.

an exceptional piece of scholarship, and one must truly congratulate the editor for providing us with a brilliantly contextualised second edition of I WPR^.. The book establishes with authority I WPR^'s status as the single most influential text in the history of language and gender. * Marlis Hellinger, Historiographia Linguistica *
