A landmark book on language and sexism, Language, Gender, and Professional Writing explores biased usage in depth -- its origins, its effect, the related controversies -- and provides sensible and sensitive guidelines for nondiscriminatory speech and writing. Designed for scholars, teachers, students, professionals, and readers concerned with language, this book demonstrates the importance and value of avoiding biased language and stimulates its readers to think of language as a rich resource offering many alternatives to objectionable usage.
