Through these sayings and witticisms the author delineates the image of women that these anti-proverbs reflect, her qualities, attributes and behavior. The book begins with an analysis of how women?s role in the family, their sexuality and traditional occupations are presented in proverbs, and presents an overview of the genre of the anti-proverb. The author then analyses how this image of women is transformed in anti-proverbs, sometimes subverting, but often reinforcing the sexist bias of the original. This engaging work will appeal to students and scholars of humour studies, paremiology, gender studies, cultural studies, folklore and sociolinguistics alike. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aCulture 606 $aGender 606 $aWomen 606 $aUnited States?Study and teaching 606 $aSociolinguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N44000 606 $aLanguage and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N66000 606 $aCulture and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210 606 $aWomen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040 606 $aAmerican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aGender. 615 0$aWomen. 615 0$aUnited States?Study and teaching. 615 14$aSociolinguistics. 615 24$aLanguage and Gender. 615 24$aCulture and Gender. 615 24$aWomen's Studies. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 676 $a809.93352042 700 $aLitovkina$b Anna T$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061490 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337740503321 996 $aWomen Through Anti-Proverbs$92518940 997 $aUNINA
