about

“Prompted to base the piece loosely on women’s social movements, I recalled learning in an introductory French class that the lack of neutral gender in grammar has been an issue that French feminists have attempted to address many times. Especially since the 1980s, there has been a huge push for (and subsequent pushback against) écriture inclusive, inclusive writing. I have personal experience interfacing with this lack of neutral gender in French—during my time studying in Montreal, I had to choose whether I was a “compositeur” or a “compositrice” when my music was presented on recital programs.” - Amy Nam
