Her much-quoted book is now recognized as a modern classic of feminist literary criticism. Nancy Kline's welcome English translation captures the clarity and passion of observations that go beyond books to boudoirs and boardrooms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerrmann charges that language is the fundamental means by which women are oppressed. Their education forces them to parrot masculine discourse, often gets them dismissed as chatterboxes, and silences their real lives. Women who desire to express themselves creatively are obliged to \"steal\" language or to invent one of their own. Based on readings of major texts in literature, philosophy, and the social sciences, \u003ci\u003eThe Tongue Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how men and women differ in their experiences of words, work, space, time, love, and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Kline is Director of the Writing Project, Barnard College.
