AB  - Cross-referencing more than 5,000 words and phrases, A Women's Thesaurus is designed to give an infusion of non-sexist language into existing language categories. It was built on the premise that the naming of things within a society's language directly shapes the images, emotions and worldview of those who use that language. Words themselves, the relationships between words and the categories we construct to group those relationships are what make our reality. This five year project represents the collaborative efforts of many individuals and several groups including The Business and Professional Women's Foundation and The National Council for Research on Women (135). A Women's Thesaurus is not only ideal for catalogers, indexers and those who design electronic retrieval systems, it is for anyone who wants to incorporate a system of language which is conceptually nonsexist.
