About this title

Synopsis

This new edition of Language and Woman's Place not only makes available once again a pioneering work of feminist linguistics, but also places the book in the context of contemporary feminist and gender theory. The revised and expanded edition presents the full text of the original first edition, along with an introduction and annotations by Lakoff, in which she reflects on the book and expands on some of the most widely discussed issues it raises. The volume also brings together commentaries from twenty-six leading scholars, who discuss the book's contribution to feminist research on language and explore its ongoing relevance for scholarship in the field.
