Wordslut is a feminist look at the English language. Montell digs into common myths about how women speak (and how traits that are often maligned are not in any way unique to women’s speech), some of the language around what it means to be a woman or female, and how insults are oftened gendered, but only toward women. This book is great and the linguistic concepts brought up are fascinating. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in language and learning about how people use it.
