More about the book

Exploring the evolution of language surrounding women's experiences, this book delves into the historical context of feminist thought from Old English to today. Dr. Jenni Nuttall highlights the inadequacy of current terms in expressing the realities of women's lives, such as menstruation, sexuality, and gender roles. By investigating forgotten words related to female bodies and experiences, she critiques modern language's shortcomings and seeks to reclaim a more honest and relatable vocabulary for women’s daily lives.
