Super fast and interesting read on linguistics and changing language as well as misogyny and patriarchal aspects of language. It was recommended by many and I thought I would not like it but the author does a wonderful job of mixing in personal stories, interviews, and perspectives with the research so it keeps you super engaged! Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in learning about language and understanding it better from a feminist perspective.
