Women Changing Language Vol. This book is concerned with language planning and language reform.
Language planning is a misleading term.
The author starts from an unquestioned and unquestionable feminist perspective. The author of this book, and many others with her, question what can and should be done about it. Feminist language planning stems more from political motivation than pure linguistic motivation. Women Changing Language stands out among the better documented, with the main conclusions of many studies reported on. The book has the merit of examining the workings of sexism in several languages, including lesser known ones, clearly enough so that a command of the language does not prove necessary.
