Based on decades of research, Baron’s masterly work documents the historical and continued importance of personal pronouns. Those interested in gender politics or English grammar, or who feel that 'he' and 'she' are inadequate, would benefit greatly from perusing this book..

After this slightly forced attempt at with-itness, What’s Your Pronoun? settles down into a scrupulous and absorbing survey. Its great virtue is to show that these issues are nothing new.

If it is true, as Baron declares, that 'Pronouns are suddenly sexy,' then his nearly 300 pages devoted to that part of speech must be X-rated! But, alas, there’s nothing especially titillating here.

In addition to extensive notes on the editors, educators, writers, and others who have added their opinions and alternatives to the effort, Baron also archives insights on the popular and common uses of a singular 'they'.

... entertaining and thoroughly documented.
