Books in the World and Word series

This new edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded to take account of new developments in feminist debates about language.

Complementing the current upsurge in feminist writing on the eighteenth century, and giving students the chance to make their own re-readings of texts, this anthology gathers together a range of material from conduct manuals to medical texts.
