Description
If A Feminist Dictionary doesn’t look much like other dictionaries, that’s because it’s an avowed polemic rather than a work of practical lexicography. Professors Cheris Kramarae and Paula Treichler produced what one archivist called “sort of a cross between the OED and the Whole Earth Catalog.” They use a dictionary format to get readers to question the ideology behind ostensibly neutral and objective reference books, which are “constructed almost entirely by men with male readers and users in mind.”
