The Ohio Feminist Art Museum November Book Club – Wordslut

From Amanda Montell’s website:

“The word bitch conjures many images for many people, but it is most often meant to describe an unpleasant woman. Even before its usage to mean a female canine, bitch didn’t refer to gender at all—it originated as a gender-neutral word meaning genitalia. A perfectly innocuous word devolving into a female insult is the case for tons more terms, including hussy—which simply meant housewife—or slut, which meant an untidy person and was also used to describe men. These words are just a few among history’s many English slurs hurled at women.”

We will be meeting from 6-7:30pm. Light snacks and water provided. Please feel free to bring food for yourself, or to share!
