March is Women's History Month. In homage, we will clear a
space on the davenport for all things female in the Language Lounge. English is
a particularly apt place to study women's history, because it has fossilized
many concepts and attitudes about women that are undergoing reappraisal today.
Word associations in English reflect, to a very large degree, a historical
rather than a contemporary take on woman; the Visual Thesaurus gives us a place
to study these connections.
