{"product_id":"women-and-dictionary-making-lindsay-rose-russell-9781316638194","title":"Women and Dictionary-Making: Gender, Genre, and English Language Lexicography","description":"Dictionaries are a powerful genre, perceived as authoritative and objective records of the language, impervious to personal bias. But who makes dictionaries shapes both how they are constructed and how they are used. Tracing the craft of dictionary making from the fifteenth century to the present day, this book explores the vital but little-known significance of women and gender in the creation of English language dictionaries. Women worked as dictionary patrons, collaborators, readers, compilers, and critics, while gender ideologies served, at turns, to prevent, secure, and veil women's involvements and innovations in dictionary making. Combining historical, rhetorical, and feminist methods, this is a monumental recovery of six centuries of women's participation in dictionary making and a robust investigation of how the social life of the genre is influenced by the social expectations of gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsay Rose Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316638197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316638194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Lindsay Rose Russell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944394752255,"sku":"9781316638194","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_45ae81bf-fc6e-4fbc-97c6-d6449a719a82.jpg?v=1681503371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-dictionary-making-lindsay-rose-russell-9781316638194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
