Wordslut is a fun and interesting examination at the relationship between language, gender, and society. Amanda Montell writes engaging nonfiction works. This book is well-researched and Montell explains her research and material in a manner that non-linguists can understand. I would recommend this book!

The audiobook is read by the author and is a joy to listen to - I especially appreciated the emphasis on the effects of misogyny on queer folks and folks of color. Extremely welcoming feminist text.

A really interesting exploration into how gendered our language is and I thought about the way I speak in some new and interesting ways. I also appreciated the brief discussions on the intersectionality of language and I was inspired to find more resources about that topic in particular. Language is culture, language is power

Informative, funny, absolutely charming and exactly what I needed. This was a university read, but along with other things I read for uni this year (like Ace), it gave me a wonderful experience and made me think about a lot of things ingrained in our culture and speech. Another important thing is that as a linguistics major, I felt utterly inspired by this.
