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

2.75

I wanted to like this. I did like the beginning, but I wanted it to focus more on linguistics. The beginning cites studies, talks about the etymology of words, but it could have been at least 75 pages shorter. I don't really care about what she likes to use for curse words or to call her vagina. It is important what terms we use as a society, but the personal anecdotes were annoying. This book has a lot of potential, but I just felt it could be edited better.
