Not a fan of online reading? Want to have an excellent read about sexism, AI, and the power of language in today's society? Grab today's paper- The Guardian has a Double Page Spread about sexism in dictionaries and our campaign!

We are to so thankful to Emine Saner for her wonderful article and research, as well  to Katharine Sophie Viner (the first female editor-in-chief at The Guardian) for choosing to shine a light on the topic, and the campaign!

Some of our favourite quotes from the article are:

• "Dictionaries are inhospitable to women. They are instruments of social control". “Now the faulty and hurtful definitions and categories are being built into artificial intelligence systems that separate, classify and rank people through automated and unaccessible processes.” - Cheris Kramarae, creator of 1985's A Feminist Dictionary
• "The language we use is fundamentally framed and determined by the patriarchal society in which we live” - Sam Smethers, CEO of Fawcett Society
• "Anyone who does think bitch is a straight synonym of woman is going to find themselves in fights"- Deborah Cameron, a feminist, and professor of language at Worcester College, Oxford.
• “We should be more ambitious in our dictionary criticism. I do think that campaigns such as this one start productive discussions about words and their meanings. We ought to care what definitions are made most readily available an why"- Lindsay Rose Russell, an associate professor of English at the University of Illinois and the author of 'Women and Dictionary Making'.
