A rich, provocative and entertaining history of women''s words - of the language we have, and haven''t, had to share our lives.''Fascinating, intriguing, witty, a gem of a book'' KATE MOSSE''Full of interesting observations ... Entertaining'' PHILIP HENSHER, SPECTATOR''This superb book teems with historical marvels and their 21st century resonances.'' REBECCA WRAGG SYKES, author of KindredSo many of the words we use to articulate the experiences women share feel awkward or alien. Medical terms are accurate but antiseptic. Slang often perpetuates stereotypes. Where are the plain, honest words for women''s daily lives? From the dawn of Old English to the present day, Dr. Jenni Nuttall guides readers through the evolution of the words we have to describe bos, menstruation, uality, the consequences of male violence, childbirth, paid and unpaid work, and gender.Along the way, she argues that, paradoxically, as women have made slow progress towards equality, we''ve lost some of the most expressive and eloquent bits of our vocabulary. Inspired by Nuttall''s deep knowledge of the English language as well as conversations with her teenage daughter, this is a book for anyone who loves language - and for feminists who want to look to the past in to move forward.''There is a nugget of joy and wisdom on every single page'' VICTORIA WHITWORTH, historian and author of Daughter of the Wolf
