'Finally, a book that puts the "F" word (feminism, that is) back into Gender and Language. Mills and Mullany offer us a fresh perspective on a field that started out in second wave feminism and that has by and large abandoned the notion of feminism and how it fits into women's ways with words. The volume takes us through the various epistemological, theoretical, and methodological issues that need to be re-examined against a backdrop of feminist theory within in this very dynamic arena of scholarship. A must read for scholars and students working in the intersection of linguistics, anthropology, sociology, psychology, communication studies, Women's Studies, and gender.'
Diana Boxer, University of Florida, USA
'An important and timely book, Language, Gender and Feminism emphasizes feminism, as a political ideology and practice, at the heart of gender and language research. Mills and Mullany persuasively argue for the continued relevance of feminism in contemporary societies, and the need for gender and language scholars to be theoretically and methodologically informed in order to navigate the complexities in current discursive constructions of gender, sexuality and power, and to produce nuanced and self-reflexive analyses. A must-read for feminist gender and language scholars!'

'An excellent book at just the right time! The authors remind us of the feminist roots of language and gender studies and argue for the importance of investigating the role that language plays in creating and sustaining unequal gender relations. This book should be on every linguist's bookshelf.'
Jennifer Coates, Emeritus Professor, Roehampton University, UK
'Gender and language research has needed this book for some time. It restates the political purpose of feminist linguistic studies and offers readers a thoughtful and clear account of complex theoretical and methodological issues as they relate to current developments in the field.'
