Language and Women's Place is a revolutionary text in the field of linguistic anthropology. The new field faced some of the masculinist problems that the field of applied linguistics had had up to this point and Lakoff's work provided a ground breaking feminist take on linguistics. While some of the arguments have dated poorly, specifically methodologically in the usage of personalized accounts and in the universalistic definition of 'women' in place of 'white women.' The 2004 Oxford revision provides a plethora of examples as to why Robin Lakoff's work was and still is crucial to a rounded understanding of feminist discourse.

March 13, 2023 Edited by MariaMachida I added a description which also includes updates made between the 2004 (my) version of LWP and the original text (included in the 2004 version). I touch briefly on why Robin Lakoff's work is useful and the developments that it would lead to (specifically of the California school which I know most about).
