women and cars

Wed May 14 15:07:32 UTC 2003

I have a student who is researching the use of the prounoun "she" and
female-marked names to reference cars. She has found some discussion on
this topic (Spender, Dinnerstein, and others) but she would like more
current research to study. Can anyone recommend sources?

Many thanks,
Kate
