Language and the Sexes is a clear, engaging study of how linguistic choices mirror cultural assumptions about gender. Drawing on sociolinguistics and comparative language examples, the authors analyze topics such as naming practices, gendered stereotypes, conversational politics, forms of address, and vocabulary asymmetries. They highlight how sexism can be embedded in ordinary language habits and propose concrete reforms. The book ends with recommended projects, guidelines for inclusive language, and a comprehensive bibliography for further study.
