Usage

The use of the pronoun he to refer to a person of unspecified sex, once quite acceptable, has become problematic in recent years and is now usually regarded as old-fashioned or sexist. One of the responses to this has been to use she in the way that he has been used, as in only include your child if you know she won't distract you. In some types of writing, for example books on childcare or child psychology, this use of she has become quite common. In most contexts, however, it is likely to be distracting in the same way that he now is, and alternatives such as ‘he or she’ or ‘they’ are preferable

Phrases

  • who's she—the cat's mother?

    • 1informal Used as a mild reproof, especially to a child, for impolite use of the pronoun she rather than a person's name.

      〈英,非正式〉她是谁——小猫的妈妈?(用于温和地责备,尤其在小孩可用人名更明确、更得体地指称,却不礼貌地用代词"she"时)

    • 2informal Expressing the belief that a woman or girl has a high opinion of herself or is putting on airs.

      她是谁——小猫的妈妈?(表示说话者认为一女子自命不凡或摆架子时的用语)

Origin

Middle English: probably a phonetic development of the Old English feminine personal pronoun hēo, hīe.

In most contexts, however, it is likely to be distracting in the same way that he now is, and alternatives such as he or she or they are preferable. In some contexts where alternation would not distract, writers seeking ‘balanced representation’ vary the gender of the personal pronoun by using she or her in one paragraph, and he or him in the next, and so on. This method should be used with restraint, however, as it may confuse or annoy the reader

Origin

Middle English: probably a phonetic development of the Old English feminine personal pronoun hēo, hīe.
