Addressing one of the most pressing cultural questions of our generation, Dennis Baron reveals the untold story of how we got from he and she to zie and hir and singularthey.Like trigger warnings and genderneutral bathrooms, pronouns are sparking a national debate, prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, even prisons, about what pronouns to use. Colleges ask students to declare their pronouns along with their majors; corporate conferences print name tags with space to add pronouns; email signatures sport pronouns along with names and titles. Far more than a byproduct of the culture wars, genderneutral pronouns are, however, nothing new. Pioneering linguist Dennis Baron puts them in historical context, noting that Shakespeare used singularthey; women invoked the generic use of he to assert the right to vote (while those opposed to womens rights invoked the same word to assert that he did not include she); and people have been coining new gender pronouns, not just hir and zie, for centuries. Based on Barons own empirical research, Whats Your Pronoun? chronicles the story of the role pronouns have playedand continue to playin establishing both our rights and our identities. It is an essential work in understanding how twentyfirstcentury culture has evolved. 20 blackandwhite illustrations
