WOMEN AND LANGUAGE, an international interdisciplinary research periodical, serves as a forum for innovative studies and critical conversations among feminist theorists and gender scholars. Women and Language accepts submissions of scholarly articles that make conceptual and research contributions to the study of communication, language, and gender. Book reviews and reviews of digital media are also welcome.
All submissions to Women and Language should be electronically submitted in MSWord compatible format. Preferred length for scholarly research and theory manuscripts is 5000 words including endnotes and references; a 150-word abstract should accompany such submissions. Other types of submissions such as commentaries and essays are welcome and these may be shorter. Prepare materials with a separate cover page with no author identification on the manuscript itself; otherwise, submissions should adhere to the 5th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual or the 3rd edition of the Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Manual for format and reference style.
