"A brash, enlightening, and wildly entertaining feminist look at gendered language and the way it shapes us, written with humor and playfulness that challenges words and phrases and how we use them."

I absolutely adored Wordslut. I listened to it on Audible and I think that is the best way to consume this particular book. The author is also a great narrator. One of my favorite things about Wordslut was learning the history of so many words that I have wondered about in the past. Learning the origins of some of these words was incredibly interesting. Amanda Montell has given us a gem of a book and food for thought on how language develops and how it continues to develop, as well as what direction it is going in. Combined with wit and humor, Wordslut is the perfect book to read for any word nerd who is interesting in and enjoys language and language development.
