Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language by Amanda Montell

funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I loved reading Cultish and was eager to come back and read Montell's other book, especially given the subject matter. She did not disappoint, and I ended up being asked to confront some of my own internalized sexism around language and the way women talk. 

Chapter 6: How to Confuse a Catcaller, is one of the most powerful, validating chapters I’ve ever read. It discusses how men’s mistreatment of women stems from a lack of empathy, and the ways women feel voiceless in many situations.
