BREAKING THE PATRIARCHAL CODE
Louise Gouëffic 1996, Knowledge,
Ideas and Trends, Manchester CT,
categorizes 10000 items of speech
that assume male superiority and
dominance in words naming him
superior and dominant.
She seeks out the messages in them
and spells them out in a language
that people of all ages can see the
bias and understand what is done
to mind in language manipulated by
patriarchy. She proposes many ways
to reduce the harm caused by
patriarchal language and changes
in language benefiting both genders.
Updated redesigned edition 2011
printed in Canada.

"This is an imaginative and creative work. The analysis is profound and thoughtful. The implications are far more radical than other publications on the gender bias in language. No one who has given these matters serious thought can fail to be persuaded that the task of creating an unbiased language form has just begun."
