Reviews
'This book marks a timely intervention in the field of language and gender research and provides students and researchers alike with essential primary materials. The book contains articles from a very wide range of disciplines; if you think that this book will contain all of the usual suspects, then prepare to be surprised - there are extracts on masculinity, corpus linguistics, post-structuralist linguistics, fairy tales, ELT textbooks, queer theory, and social networks. This would make an ideal textbook for gender and language courses.' - Professor Sara Mills, Sheffield Hallam University, UK

I highly recommend it for both teaching and research purposes.' - Gabriela Iuliana Colipca, University of Galati, Romania
