{"product_id":"the-tongue-snatchers-9780803272521","title":"The Tongue Snatchers","description":"Claudine Herrmann became famous in France with he publication of \u003ci\u003eLes Voleuses de langue\u003c\/i\u003e in 1976. Her much-quoted book is now recognized as a modern classic of feminist literary criticism. Nancy Kline's welcome English translation captures the clarity and passion of observations that go beyond books to boudoirs and boardrooms. \u003cp\u003eHerrmann charges that language is the fundamental means by which women are oppressed. Their education forces them to parrot masculine discourse, often gets them dismissed as chatterboxes, and silences their real lives. Women who desire to express themselves creatively are obliged to steal language or to invent one of their own. Based on readings of major texts in literature, philosophy, and the social sciences, \u003ci\u003eThe Tongue Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how men and women differ in their experiences of words, work, space, time, love, and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudine Herrmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.35w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803272521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNancy Kline is Director of the Writing Project, Barnard College.
