Compiled by Diane Goossens with an introductory essay by Maryann Ayim. The authors explore issues of the exclusionary nature of sexist language, with particular reference to the so-called generic words "he" and "man". They question among other things, why "mankind" is still, after many years of feminist activism and research, widely accepted as a term connecting all human beings.
