OverviewMany of the words and phrases we take for granted in the English language have strange and interesting origins. Paulette J. Linzey shows how the meaning of many words has evolved in A Real Woman's Guide to Living ...and much more. For example 'nice' in the fifteenth century meant 'foolish' but has evolved to have it's modern connotation. The lighter contents of this book are designed mainly for feminist browsers whilst other sections will lend a hand to both students of English language and ancient history. Paulette shows how word usage has often evolved with a little help from men either wittingly or unwittingly to disguise their original meaning. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Paulette J.
