Extract

Jane Sunderland, Language and gender: An advanced resource book. London & New York: Routledge, 2006. Pp. xxiv, 359. Hb $110 Pb $33.95.

This is a textbook designed for use by those studying, researching, and teaching in the field of gender and language. Although it is written from the perspective of linguistics, it is also accessible to people in other relevant disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, and education. As a teacher (Celia Kitzinger) and as an advanced undergraduate student (Rose Rickford) in a sociology department, we read this book at our different academic career stages and both found it a comprehensive and scholarly overview of the field and a useful resource for our own work.
