Pip Williams wrote my favorite quote from a book in The Dictionary of Lost Words, about how womens' titles (Miss, Mrs., Ms.) were created to inform society of her sexuality. This book has a similar quote I liked. "The words used to describe us define our value to society and determine our capacity to contribute. They also tell others how to feel about us, how to judge us."
