A Definitive and Restorative Guide

Arnette Wright Travis

Activist | Advocate | Author​

In her book, Bitch: A Definitive and Restorative Guide (BitchDR)Arnette makes the case for ‘retiring’ the word bitch – as it is applied to women generally. This common cultural cliche is tied directly to gender discrimination, practiced by a society that refuses to acknowledge that women’s rights are simply human rights. The book is a timely and necessary examination of how words do matter.

 

BitchDR  is a primer for the roots of the women’s movement in the United States, and to understanding how a derogation achieved acceptance by some women and is hated by others. BitchDR is recommended reading for those enrolled in women and gender studies programs and has garnered the attention of readers everywhere.

BitchDR pinpoints the hypocrisy and deception of a society that purports to value women, but punishes them through the denial of pay equity and other human rights. To add insult to injury, many women are complicit by the adoption of terminology whose sole intention is their degradation. – Arnette Wright Travis

The content is digestible and easy enough to read! This isn't just a book, it's a movement. The content is digestible and easy enough to read, but complex in it's subtle dismantling of how the cultural perception of women has been twisted by power of this language and it's permeation into everyday conversation. Concise, creative, balanced, leading edge thought. Just brilliant

"Arnette Travis...has written an alluring book. Through personal encounters, interviews, and historical research of the women's movement, she reveals a society that systematically favors men over women. Her recommendations for remediation include the re-purposing of the word 'bitch' as an action verb to relieve stress. I intend to try it myself!
