Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language

Amanda Montell

3.0

challenging informative medium-paced

I really liked this author's book Cult-ish but this one fell flat. It's a book about power dynamics underlying our language and I was disappointed that she casually used tropes that trivialize Native culture with seemingly no awareness that she was doing the same thing she was advocating against.

medium-paced

Factual inaccuracies - both intentional ("I tricked you" and "the facts don't matter" are both actual quotes) and unintentional - undermined this book and soured me on this author.
