WOMEN AND LANGUAGE, an international interdisciplinary research periodical, provides a feminist forum focused on issues of gender, communication, and language. W&L accepts submissions of scholarly articles that make conceptual and research contributions to the study of communication, language, and gender. Essays on current issues in the field as well as book reviews and reviews of digital media are 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.
