A Tale of a Tub
Robert Hendrickson notes in his book "British Literary Anecdotes" that "Swift was always partial to his strikingly original "The Tale of a Tub" (1704). On reading the work again in later years, he exclaimed 'Good God! What a genius I had when I wrote that book!'"
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".
