Summary:
"The story of how we got from
he
and
she
to zie and hir and singular they. Like trigger warnings and gender-neutral bathrooms,
pronouns
are suddenly sparking debate, prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, even prisons, about
what
pronouns
to use. Colleges ask students to declare their
pronouns
; corporate conferences print nametags with space for people to add their
pronouns
; email signatures sport
pronouns
along with names and titles. Far more than a byproduct of campus politics or culture wars, gender-neutral
pronouns
are in fact nothing new. Renowned linguist Dennis Baron puts them in historical context, demonstrating that Shakespeare used singular they; that women evoked the generic use of
he
to assert the right to vote (while those opposed to women'
s
rights invoked the same word to assert that
he
did not include
she
), and that self-appointed language experts have been coining new gender
pronouns
, not just hir and zie but hundreds more, like thon, ip, and em, for centuries. Based on Baron'
s
own empirical research,
What
's
Your
Pronoun
? tells the untold story of gender-neutral and nonbinary
pronouns
