 Women in the History of Linguistics

In “Women in the History of Linguistics”, Wendy Ayres Bennett and Helena Sanson present a groundbreaking exploration of the often overlooked contributions of women to the field of linguistics throughout history. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, the authors shed light on the significant role these women played in shaping linguistic theory and practice, challenging the traditional narrative that has predominantly focused on male figures.

The book begins by examining the lives and works of pioneering linguists such as Émilie du Châtelet, whose groundbreaking translations of Newton’s Principia Mathematica included linguistic analysis, and Alice Vanderbilt Morris, whose extensive research on Native American languages made significant contributions to the field. By delving into their intellectual journeys, personal struggles, and the societal barriers they faced, the authors provide a rich and nuanced understanding of how these women navigated the male-dominated world of linguistics.

Moving forward, Bennett and Sanson explore the contributions of women during the emergence of structural linguistics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They highlight the pivotal role played by women like Mary Haas, whose groundbreaking work on Native American languages challenged prevailing linguistic theories, and Zellig Harris, whose collaboration with his wife, Zellig Harris, led to breakthroughs in the study of syntax. These stories not only demonstrate.
