"Let's Talk Gender, Baby"

Paper Summary:

From the Paper:

"Throughout the essay, Wendy Kaminer's authorial voice dominates all others. As the author, Kaminer decides just when to use her own voice, and just when to use voices of others, alternatively, to offer examples of why the particular main points she makes about gender and language are valid. The essay "Let's Talk about Gender, Baby" offers a skillful, powerful, and, I believe, effective "mosaic" of voices. As its author, however, Wendy Kaminer not only creates, but controls the framework of the mosaic, as well as all of its intricate patterns."
