“Some overly enthusiastic feminists have suggested a fundamental bias in the word—and in the process it represents—and have enjoyed proclaiming their account of women in the past as herstory. But “history” comes from Middle English histoire, which is exactly the modern French word for both “history” and “story,” and before that from Latin and Greek—all languages in which “his” is not the masculine personal pronoun. But wordplay among contemporary academic theorists works whether or not it’s true, and this is simply a lie.”
