'This collection gives easy access to a key set of texts on central themes in the study of gender differentiated language use. Chosen to reflect a broad spectrum of research over the past 20 years, they not only make an excellent reader for any course on language and gender, but also provide a handy reference for scholars interested in the linguistic dimensions of gender.' Suzanne Romaine, Merton Professor of English Language, University of Oxford 'Finally! A reader that covers the field of language and gender from both a historical and a topic-centered viewpoint. I particularly appreciate Coates' lucid introductions before each section and her organization of the material into manageable units around which I can easily imagine structuring both classroom discussions and assignments...I look forward to using the book.' Sarah Dart, Macalester College 'This nicely crafted anthology will take readers into the central topiocs, and most significant debates, in the study of gender and language. A wonderful resource.'
