BREAKING THE BIAS OF ENGLISH: How English Disempowers Women and How to Fix It In Only Six Words! by Vivian R Probst Vivianprobst.com Amazon.com Linguist Vivian Probst has come out of her Word Closet! In 2008, Vivian Probst discovered a simple but subversive code in English that was so visibly against women, that she spent fifteen years researching how to fix it before releasing her theory in her 2023 book ‘Breaking The Bias of English’. This is her story–a rediscovery of how much English prefers men; of how those of us who aren’t men are disempowered by English, and most importantly, how to reclaim our voices with only six minor word changes: The; She; Her, Woman, Women, and They are the six words. Watch how these change and open doors to words for us! Join Probst as she corrals an entire language, transforming the ‘he’ power of English into ‘we’ power. Welcome to ‘WEnglish for WEquality’.About the author My life work is focused on helping women to grow into their innate power though my fiction and non-fiction works and public speaking. As a trained linguist, I've also created a 'better' English (WEnglish for WEquality) that give 'those of us who aren't men' a few (five) words of our own.
