About this ebook
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 words 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'.
Vivian R. Probst
Vivian Probst is a linguist, award-winning author, and an indefatigable researcher. During the past fifteen years, she has designed a way to neutralize English while giving those of us who aren’t men some words of our own. She calls it ‘WEnglish for WEquality’. Probst spent over thirty years as a national consultant teaching complex tax regulations for a government-regulated housing program known as I.R.C. Section 42 before she took up the challenge to make English respectful of both women and men. Find her at vivianprobst.com and wenglishforwequality.com
