| Summary | "Les femmes et le langage" by Rémy de Gourmont is a philosophical and linguistic essay written in the early 20th century. The book explores the integral role of women in the development and preservation of language, positing that their contributions are foundational to communication and society itself. Gourmont examines the interplay between language and femininity, ultimately asserting that language, in essence, is feminine. In this work, Gourmont delves into the notion that women have been the primary educators in language, teaching children through their innate communication style and nurturing word formation. He argues that while women may not have created language in the formal sense, they have been pivotal in its evolution and maintenance. By presenting historical and psychological arguments, Gourmont highlights how women's social roles as caretakers and communicators shape not only the learning and development of language in children but also the wider societal understanding of communication itself. The essay reflects on cultural implications, proposing that the dynamics between men and women—coupled with their distinct approaches to language—enrich human expression and creativity overall.
