A Feminist Dictionary is an alternative dictionary written by Cheris Kramarae and Paula A. Treichler, with assistance from Ann Russo, originally published by Pandora Press in 1985.[1]
A revised second edition of the text was published in 1992, under the title Amazons, Bluestockings, and Crones: A Feminist Dictionary.[2] The dictionary contains over 2500 words and definitions from a feminist perspective and, in the words of reviewer Patricia Nichols, forces the reader "to consider who assembles the dictionaries usually consulted and to ask how the words have been chosen."[3]
A Feminist Dictionary does not adhere to lexicographical convention: rather than offering readers objective descriptions for each entry, it uses the dictionary format to wryly comment upon and critique gender dynamics.[3] Nichols describes the resulting volume as a "sort of a cross between the OED and the Whole Earth Catalog".[4]
