Language & Gender

Amanda Montell, reporter and feminist linguist, deconstructs language — from insults and 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.

This program was presented via Zoom on Tuesday, May 31, 2022. The Language & Series is made possible by a grant from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation.

Montell’s book Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language is available for purchase through our Bookshop.org storefront: https://bookshop.org/a/21212/97800628...
