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
