Summary
The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing: For Writers, Editors, and Speakers (2nd Edition) by Casey Miller and Kate Swift remains a vital resource for thoughtful communicators. First published by Harper & Row, this groundbreaking guide addresses the unconscious biases embedded in everyday language. The authors, pioneers in linguistic equality, offer practical solutions and examples to help writers, editors, and public speakers craft language that reflects fairness and inclusivity. Rather than imposing rigid rules, Miller and Swift encourage flexibility and creativity, demonstrating how small changes in word choice can lead to broader cultural shifts.
This revised second edition takes into account evolving language norms, making it as timely today as it was upon its release. For educators, journalists, business professionals, and content creators, it provides clear guidance on avoiding gender-based stereotypes and fostering respect through language. If you value communication that acknowledges all individuals with dignity, this handbook will become an indispensable part of your library.
