Summary

• "The goal of this volume is to hear, record, and help others hear some of the breadth and strength of voices of women often not heard. The chapters speak to some aspect of women and language in Japan, Southern India, Santa Domingo, Europe, Egypt, as well as Canada and the United States.".
• "Based on muted group theory, the book is divided into two sections. The first section - Softened Voices - includes chapters by authors who themselves are saying messages likely to be softened and those about women whose voices have been softened. Chapters in the second section include a wide variety of voices, including voices muted by silencing or altering."--BOOK JACKET.
