Description:
A brash, enlightening and wildly entertaining feminist look at gendered language and the way it shapes us.

English is scattered with perfectly innocuous words that have devolved into insults hurled at women. The word "bitch" originally meant male or female genitalia. "Hussy" was simply a housewife, and "slut" was an untidy man or woman.

Feminist linguist Amanda Montell explains why words matter and why it's imperative that women embrace their unique relationship with language. Drawing on fascinating research, and moving between history and pop culture, Montell deconstructs language - from insults and cursing to grammar and pronunciation - to expose the ways it has been used for centuries to gaslight women. Montell's irresistible intelligence and humour make linguistics not only approachable but downright enthralling.

Wordslut gets to the heart of our language, sheds light on the biases that shadow women in our culture and shows how to embrace language to verbally smash the patriarchy.

"I get so jazzed about the future of feminism knowing that Montell's brilliance is rising up and about to explode worldwide." -JILL SOLOWAY

Perfect for Summer Layering
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a high-quality, straightforward scent that captures a beautiful fruity vibe perfect for spring and summer. It opens with a vibrant blast of super-sweet strawberry before settling into a smooth, cozy blend of vanilla and sandalwood. The presentation is nice, the bottle feels solid, and the cap and nozzle function perfectly. While the performance is average for a mist, the 1oz travel size is ideal for keeping in a work bag for a quick refresh every few hours. It works beautifully as a standalone fragrance or as a sweet base for layering.

Portable size to freshen up
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The fragrance is fruity and light. This is a great size to pop in a purse or gym bag. I also found it easily in my bag because of the bright red color, and my bag is ALWAYS a mess lol. The lid stays on with no issues. Since this is a mist , the scent is there and gone pretty quickly. It doesn’t last long. The price is decent for this brand, but it isn’t going to perform much differently than what you get at the “blue gingham” place. I’ve ordered from Lake & Skye before and I generally like their products.

Fruity body mist
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great little travel-size body spray to keep in a beach bag, purse, or suitcase. The spray bottle is compact but still feels sturdy, and it’s super convenient for on-the-go use. The scent is pleasant, sweet, and fruity, and not overpowering at all. To me it has a warm fruity vibe that kind of reminds me of summer days as a kid eating popsicles. Nice for everyday wear if you want something light and easy, plan to reapply every 3 hours or so for maximum scent.
