  • Upcoming Book Titles Use the Word Girl

    I came across an article on the National Post today.  Seems language is shifting away from woman and lady due to associated baggage.  Instead, girl is used and there are a LOT of novels of late using that term.

    Girls! Girls! Girls! Why so many new and upcoming book titles use the word ‘girl’ featured on the National Post.

    Here is a quote from the article:

    The word “girl” has become as practical as “guy,” its male equivalent — an all-purpose term that doesn’t carry the baggage of “woman” or “lady.”

    While this is likely a marketing ploy now.  It is interesting to see how the language has changed in use in a short period of time.

    Though I have to ask, what is the baggage associated with woman or lady?  Did I miss something?
