Gynographic
The term Gynographic is a combination of two ancient Greek roots, Gyno and Graphos, which can be loosely translated as ‘woman’ and ‘writing’ respectively. As a cognate, the word is derived from the noun Gynography, which itself is derived from the Greek γνωγραφία, ‘knowledge’ and γνῶσις, ‘woman’; thus, Gynographic is a term that expresses the sum of knowledge of a particular woman. Historically, the word appears to first have appeared in the late 19th century and was used to describe women’s writing mainly in reference to those women who were members of the British Darwin Charitable Fund. Morphologically, the word exhibits Greek and British English influences, and it has developed a semantic meaning which can be interpreted as the study and analysis of a particular woman’s writing and discourse. In a pragmatic usage, the term Gynographic can be used to refer to the study of any kind of gender-based writings, written by either female or male authors.
