5.0
As a lover of language, this book was enlightening and fascinating. "Wordslut" sheds some light on common derogatory statements made against women and traces their origins back to what they were originally intended for.
I think the etymology of words is such an interesting study. How does a word originally created to describe "X" evolve to mean "Y"? This novel is informative and entertaining. I highly recommend this for anyone who considers themselves a feminist or anyone who is interested in words.
