Krátky popis
“I get so jazzed about the future of feminism knowing that Amanda
Montell’s brilliance is rising up and about to explode
worldwide.”?Jill Soloway A brash, enlightening, and wildly
entertaining feminist look at gendered language and the way it
shapes us. The word bitch conjures many images, but it is most
often meant to describe an unpleasant woman. Even before its usage
to mean “a female canine,” bitch didn’t refer to women at all?it
originated as a gender-neutral word for “genitalia.” A perfectly
innocuous word devolving into an insult directed at females is the
case for tons more terms, including hussy, which simply meant
“housewife”, and slut, which meant “an untidy person” and was also
used to describe men. These are just a few of history’s many
English slurs hurled at women. Amanda Montell, reporter and
feminist linguist, deconstructs language?from insults, cursing,
gossip, and catcalling to grammar and pronunciation patterns?to
reveal the ways it has been used for centuries to keep women and
other marginalized genders from power. Ever wonder why so many
people are annoyed when women speak with vocal fry or use like as
filler? Or why certain gender-neutral terms stick and others don’t?
Or where stereotypes of how women and men speak come from in the
first place? Montell effortlessly moves between history, science,
and popular culture to explore these questions?and how we can use
the answers to affect real social change. Montell’s irresistible
humor shines through, making linguistics not only approachable but
downright hilarious and profound.&,nbsp,Wordslut&,nbsp,gets
to the heart of our language, marvels at its elasticity, and sheds
much-needed light on the biases that shadow women in our culture
and our consciousness.
