alerts(
alerts will be an on-going section of this publication
set aside for informal commentary and information on new
or neglected books by relevant women poets, in brief
letter, journal or notation form. We intentionally
think of these comments as not complete in the scholarly
sense, with the hope of removing prohibitions linked
with thinking/writing critically. Your response is invited.
WHY HOW(ever)?
"Language is inherently conservative. . . (It) relies on (usually implicit) conventionalized models of the world. Changing those conventionalized models is an integral part of changing the system of linguistic choices: the two kinds of change are inextricably linked, each one leading to and depending on the other.'
--Sally McConnell-Ginet
(from an article in Women and Language in Literature
and Society Praeger, 1980, p.10).
". . . It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs."
--Thomas Hardy
