The Word is Woman #52
Documenting the erasure of women from language and life.
Happy Friday to you all, and welcome to issue #52 of The Word is Woman, in a week in which lactation consultants and breastfeeding counsellors everywhere have been falling over themselves to insist men can breastfeed, they can, they CAN!
GALACTAGOGGIARMUS!
We really do need something to cheer ourselves up and what could be better than a catalogue of examples of women being erased from language! Because you can’t get men into a breastfeeding support group unless you seriously fuck around with language, can you?!
