A Feminist Dictionary

A Feminist Dictionary,[1] published in its second edition as Amazons, Bluestockings, and Crones: A Feminist Dictionary,[2] is an alternative dictionary compiled by Cheris Kramarae, Ann Russo, and Paula A. Tredichler, and first published by Pandora Press in 1985. It has over 2500 words and definitions from a feminist perspective, with the intent of “forcing us to consider who assembles the dictionaries usually consulted and to ask how the words have been chosen."[3] Described by one reviewer as "sort of a cross between the OED and the Whole Earth Catalog,"[4] the dictionary uses as its sources academic papers, speeches, graffiti, and quotes from famous women.
