A Tale of a Tub
A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, arguably his most difficult satire and perhaps his most masterly. The "Tale" is a prose parody divided into sections each delving into the morals and ethics of the English. Composed between 1694 and 1697, it was eventually published in 1704. It was long regarded as a satire on religion, and has famously been attacked for that, starting with William Wotton.
Kate Swift
Kate Swift (December 9, 1923 – May 7, 2011) was an American feminist writer and editor who co-wrote (with Casey Miller, her business partner and platonic domestic partner) influential books and articles about sexism in the English language. Their early works included the "Ms. Magazine" article "Desexing the Language" (1971), and the "New York Times Magazine" piece "One Small Step for Genkind" (1972). The latter grew into the book "Words and Women: A New Language in New Times" (1976, rev. 1991). In 1980, they followed with "The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing".
