Hi everybody,

I am working on my book, "Language, Gender and Power-
Politics of Representation and Hegemony".  I would be
focusing on different forms of expression: literature,
films, Tv Plays, songs, sayings and proverbs and jokes
as powerful means of constructingm, validating, and
perutating the gender sterotypes.  Can you please
share with me more refercnes relating to the above
areas.

I shoudld be graful for your early response.

Thanks.

sincerely,

shahid

P.S. I would alos like yoou recommend some reserach
journal in the field of language and gender.  Thanks
