Description
Language and gender have a profound impact on our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Allyson Julé explores how language use affects our relationships with others, particularly in the home, workplace, and online. By examining the latest academic research, she challenges common ideas about gender and language, revealing their complexity and nuance. This book provides tools to help you think critically about language and its role in shaping our experiences of gender. Julé's insightful analysis sheds light on the ways in which language is used to both empower and marginalize individuals, particularly women.
