Reviews
A masterpiece of language and gender research, and a powerful political intervention in current times. Covering a broad geopolitical spectrum, and employing different theoretical and methodological approaches, this book is an indispensable read for everyone who wants to challenge sexism through intellectual and activist practices. Tommaso M. Milani, University of Gothenburg and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Persuasive arguments for revisiting and reinterrogating the central questions for feminists in the 1960s, in relation to linguistically mediated violence, evaluating where progress has been made and where more nuanced contextualised work still needs to be done. Sara Mills, Emeritus Research Professor in Linguistics at Sheffield Hallam University This collection focuses our attention on the continued verbal and structural violence that shapes and restricts women's experience in the world. The chapters reflect critically on the political, social and interpersonal impact of sexism; they are eloquent in outlining ways in which the world could be different - and in articulating the factors that impede those changes. Miriam Meyerhoff, Victoria University of Wellington
