Linguistic Sexism

German as a Male Language is a foundational work of feminist linguistics in German. With humor and incisiveness, Luise F. Pusch reveals the deep-seated androcentrism in German grammar, particularly how the 'generic masculine' renders women invisible in language.

Thus She Is (Ainsi soit-elle) is a foundational text of modern French feminism, selling over a million copies and defining a generation. With passionate prose, Benoîte Groult indicts misogyny in all its forms, from linguistic sexism and the erasure of women's history to the physical brutality of female genital mutilation, calling on women to reclaim the definition of their own existence.

An experimental literary masterpiece by French radical feminist Monique Wittig. In this book, Wittig attempts to create a purely lesbian erotic space that completely excludes men through the violent reconstruction of language. She deconstructs traditional descriptions of the body, reshaping female subjectivity with anatomical precision and poetic frenzy.
