Taken for Granted: The Remarkable Power of the Unremarkable

Why is the term 'openly gay' so widely used but 'openly straight' is not?

What are the unspoken assumptions behind terms like 'male nurse,' 'working mom,' and 'white trash'?

Offering a revealing and provocative look at the word choices we make every day without even realising it, this book exposes the subtly encoded ways we talk about race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social status, and more.
