Biography
Helene Seltzer Krauthamer is Professor of English, and English and Foreign Languages Program Coordinator, at the University of the District of Columbia, USA.
"This work is less addressed to linguists and more to educators, editors, and aspiring allies to gender-expansive individuals. Each chapter ends with an annotated bibliography and a set of activities, which can be used to hone one’s prodar, or ‘sensitivity to pronouns whenever they occur" - Tran Truong, Department of Linguistics, University of Chicago
